| The Latest Internet Addiction: Online Car Insurance Quotes |
 |

As the Internet continues to insinuate itself deeper and deeper into our daily lives the inevitable consequences are starting to appear. Just today the CDC has formally acknowledged the existence of yet another addictive side effect of our ever increasing reliance on the Internet. Recent polls have indicated a steep rise in the number of otherwise normal people who find themselves unable to stop searching for online car insurance quotes. This affliction, often referred to as simply OCIQ (for Online Car Insurance Quote), starts out innocently enough with a simple wish to find cheaper car insurance to free up some extra cash. Research has found that after only a few hours of viewing online auto insurance quotes the poor victim's needs escalate from merely wanting cheaper car insurance to become a near maniacal desire for nothing less than the cheapest car insurance possible. OCIQ sufferers are easily identified by their glassy stare and constant muttering of search phrases like, "free instant car insurance quote" or, "car insurance estimates" or even, "low cost car insurance online". They become obsessed with finding the perfect incantation, if you will, to induce the search engine to return the lowest car insurance rate quote that the world has ever seen. They can be satisfied with nothing less. When an OCIQ is actually able to pull himself away from his computer for a moment or two he can often be found bragging to anyone who will listen how he is, "this close" to uncovering the auto insurance equivalent of the Holy Grail - a web site with auto insurance quotes so low that it would be impossible to find cheaper car insurance anywhere else on earth. The sad truth is, I'm afraid, that even if a lucky OCIQ victim were to actually find such a source of auto insurance quotes he would not abandon his search. He may, in his frenzy, actually remember to bookmark his find before entering his next search for an even lower auto insurance quote. The saddest symptom of OCIQ is also the most ironic. You see, there is no recorded case of an OCIQ addict actually buying low cost insurance online. It just doesn't happen. Most OCIQ patients simply let their current auto insurance policies automatically renew. They are simply too cautious to accept any online car insurance quotation without first conducting yet another search - just to be sure. Despite the best efforts of medical science and the psychiatric community, no cure for OCIQ seems close at hand. Some have suggested an approach similar to the concept of substituting one addiction for another in much the same way as methadone was used to treat heroin addicts. Unfortunately, the only marginally successful substitute to constantly searching the Internet for cheaper car insurance has been to convince the patient to try to find a really cheap Caribbean Cruise. For now all we can do is hope and try to be supportive of the families struggling with hopelessly addicted loved ones.
