¡§Hello. My name is Kim. I¡¦m an online-aholic.¡¨ There. I¡¦ve said it. I guess I¡¦ve been addicted for quite some time now, but I have just begun to realize it. My first interaction with the ¡§Net¡¨ began when I was only 15 years old. My dad was the computer coordinator at our school, so he wanted to try Internet access at home before installing it at school. We became America Online members in 1993. None of my friends had e-mail back then. My relationship with e-mail started like a Romeo/Juliet conspiracy. I experimented with the Net on the sly at night when the rest of my family was sleeping. That¡¦s when I first created my own screen name. Although I was too young to drive, the locked doors of adolescence were suddenly flung open before me. I could be social in the evening rather than hang out with my family¡Xthe typical family that every adolescent wants to escape from. Hanging out in chat rooms became a nightly ritual.
