A: can't you wait till you get home? then you can surf the internet using the broadband, wireless² connection or whatever you like.
R: no, I'm not feeling myself. I just want to check my emails, visit my favorite websites and chat with my friends.

R: that's alright. I just can't bear losing track of all the latest information. It almost drives me crazy.
A: then, you're probably addicted.
