A study claims internet addiction is rife.

Okay, so THIS article is killing me. Found it off science_beta.

Is it just me, or are they completely missing the point that for many people the internet is a very social activity. Calling it an addiction and throwing it in with drug and alcohol abuse seems a little over the top to me. These people really need to have better things to research.

The whole thing made no sense to me. It cetainly wasn't very scientific. You might call it a quick pilot study, but it's not a basis for labelling.

I saw that comment too and it amused me greatly. Hee!
