If you have experienced any of the following symptoms, there is a good chance you are suffering from Internet ADHD and should seek professional help….
- You get online for a very specific purpose but all of a sudden you’re inserting your face onto a virtual body that’s dancing Gangnam style and you have no idea how you got here.
- You check email, then Twitter, then email, then Facebook, then email, then Pinterest, then email, then Twitter….all in the span of five minutes.
- You log onto a photo stock website to find a picture for tomorrow’s blog post, see a picture of a bow and arrow, which makes you think of Katniss from The Hunger Games, which makes you look up the release date for Catching Fire on imdb, which leads you to a trailer, which reminds you how excited you are for Divergent to be made into a movie, which leads you to Veronica Roth’s blog, and then your husband tells you it’s time for dinner, so you go downstairs and the next morning, your blog post goes live….without a picture.
- Your husband has thrown away the brand new artificial Christmas tree because you were on the computer when he asked if he was tossing the right one.
- Your family knows that when you say, “I’ll be off in two minutes” they have time to watch a movie or a football game. Or maybe both.
Seriously, am I the only one?
