Finally…
A full clinical investigation of ‘internet addiction’ has been published from a serious, reputable, academic source.
My dissertation just had an orgasm.
Of course, I have a few small fears that I personally suffer from this condition.
This new documentation not only cements what people have known/suspected for a long time, but even pioneers in shedding new light on the nature of the condition.
Interrupting/dictating sleep patterns, nulling real physical social contact, causing bouts of depression with real, palpitable symptoms such as headaches, sickness, etc… Man, I certainly don’t suffer from this.
It’s the very medical back-up I needed for my work and own peace of mind!
And with that, I’m cynically turning off my laptop until it’s neccessary to be ‘online’.
