Meh, I have the mindset of "I'm not addicted! I can quit anytime I want!" And I have been for extended periods of time without the internet, heck, my brother is addicted to video games moreso then I am to the internet. I spend most of my time on the internet, but if I didn't I'd probably obsess over something else (I do have some other hobbies after all). The thing that sets the internet with me and video games for him apart from everything else we do is that they are used as a primary form of escapism.
Also, I don't think I ever want the internet completely out of my life. I could see myself not using it nearly as much in the future, but the internet is used for a lot of things today like news and other stuff. Like having a TV, except you can do more things with it.
