The Internet is much easier to get hooked on than crack, for the Internet is an acceptable outlet in all facets of society. The Internet is legal, and that is where the danger lies. When you start sucking on that crack pipe, you know that you're doing something shady, and you most likely know that you're going to get addicted, but the rush hits you and you just don't care. The Internet, it doesn't provide that rush as soon as it hits the bloodstream, but it slowly invades your life and your family, friends, job, school...they all take 2nd place to your drug. Before you know it, it's too late and you've fallen into the downward cycle of Internet addiction...
