Be Warned: Internet Use Can Be Addictive

You see them in line at the movies, in their cars at stoplights, seated at the local coffee shop: Internet junkies that can’t put down the computer, iPad, or smartphone. Checking their Facebook status, tweeting their location, cruising Slate for the latest news tidbit.

A study conducted by Intersperience, an international consumer research organization, queried 1,000 participants in the U.K., aged 18-65. The participants answered a lengthy questionnaire and were requested to refrain from any internet use for 24 hours.

Others labeled it one of the hardest things they had done, likening it to a nightmare. Some even had symptoms of withdrawal, similar to drugs or alcohol addictions.
