DaasYochid,
actually if you read some of the articles that come up in a a simple google search you will see much that actually supports my conclusions. the internet has become a way of life for many people – imagine not being able to talk to your wife the whole day, not being able to get directions to where you need to go, not being able to find recipes to make supper, not being able to know whether you are making or losing money etc. people who are separated from the internet feel cut off from the world – and understandably so. the author of this article engages in oversimplifications to prove his point – which seems for this part of the article to say that it is an overall bad thing which must be curbed – in addition it is unclear what percentage of the population actually experiences such symptoms. do some research on the topic, read through the raging debate about it in the psychology field about it – it seems that there is as of now no clear cut evidence that it is in fact an addiction.
