Growing up we used to wonder as to why our Dad was glued to the Radio or TV... he was used to watching/listening to news at every possible opportunity.. I realised later it ws no different to my constant refreshes of my favourite sites. My dad was a school dropout and I theorised this was his attempt to remain informed and that gave him a sense of achievement. I haven't figured out my addiction to the news, maybe I am taking after my Dad. I have tried to set limits at it and when I am away from the computer, I have no problem missing the news but when I am close, self-discipline is my only answer for now.
