An effect of excessive use of the computer has on me I do not describe myself as a computer addict although I spend most of my time on the computer each day. I was a computer engineering student, a software engineer, and currently work as a computer science researcher so computer has always been the major part of my daily routine. I realise that I have been in front of the computer more than I have talked with my family. Whenever I use the computer compulsively, I always use to applying the computer concepts to my real world. I am addictive to the 'undo' function in the computer and oftentimes tried to undo things in my real life. For example, I wet my hair then realised that I had to go out in five minutes. At that time, I did not feel much worry about it as I thought I could have undo(ne) wetting my hair, but I was wrong! I once tore my written reports before found out that they had to be filed. I was about to undo my tearing action to bring back the reports but it was not possible. Many times I feel as if I were living in a virtual computer world. I am sure that this effect does not only happen to me but also to other people who extensively use the computer.
