Too Many Maladies For The Computer Literate

Funny confessional:

  • Blog streaking - Revealing secrets or personal information online, which for everybody's sake would be best kept private
  • Crackberry - The curse of the modern executive, not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry even at you grandmother's funeral
  • Cyberchondria - A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer
  • Egosurfing - When "just checking" gets out of control
  • Infornography - You're beyond being a healthy "infovore": acquiring and sharing information has become an addiction for you
  • You Tube narcissism - Not even your closest family want to see hours of your holiday videos
  • Google-stalking - Snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates
  • MySpace impersonation - Many of us pretend to be someone we're not when we are online, but some will pretend to be a well-known figure
  • Powerpointlessness - One too many flashy slides
  • Photolurking - Flicking through a photo album of someone you've never met
  • Wikipediholism - Excessive devotion to a certain online collaborative encyclopedia. You can test whether you're an addict at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Are_You_a_Wikipediholic_Test
