Are you addicted to the Internet? (Infographic)

February 22nd, 2012

SodaHead.com, the web’s largest opinion-based social community, asked its users if they thought they were addicted to the Internet and 61% of respondents said “yes.” However, 39% said they could quit if they wanted.

When the numbers are broken down by gender, 64% of women admitted to an Internet addiction, compared to 55% of men. Internet addiction was present in every age group, however the younger voters were more likely to be hooked (73% of those between 13-17 and 71% of those between 18-24). The numbers decreased for older respondents with only 39% of those between 55-65 admitting to the addiction.
