Is Internet addiction a real problem?
"Studies such as this are useful in that they point out the fact that some people have a problem managing their online lifestyles along with ways of addressing the problem. The question remains as to whether there is any such thing as Internet addiction. Yes, people become addicted to certain online behaviors. In many cases, however, those behaviors look an awful lot like manifestations of "real-world" problems transported to the Internet." I'm on 34 points, btw.
