You don't say?
The
US is Full of "Internet Addicts" The United States could be
rife with Internet addicts as clinically ill as alcoholics, an unprecedented
study released suggested.
Researchers at Stanford medical school said their survey indicated more than one
of every eight US residents showed at least one sign of “problematic Internet
use."

Hi.
My name is Earl and I'm a blogaholic.
waiting for applause....
That's a very concise post, wretchard. "Nothing follows"... I guess you you kicked the habit! But there's a mess of users who went to another dealer when you cut off their supply last month.
Total rubbish and I would write more but I have to get back to my bloggggggg..
Eutopians seek to regulate vloggers. Surprised?
Whew! Thankfully the last paragraph of the referenced story clears everything up - at least for me.
"According to preliminary research, the typical Internet addict was a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use." [emphasis mine]
Since I'm older than that, and reading Wretchard every day is extremely essential, this obviously doesn't apply to me.
Cheers
Hot damn, I finally qualify for the ADA! Now to find the sleaze ball lawyer to start suing Microsoft, Netscape, Google, Yahoo, etc….
Given the choice of a bacon cheeseburger or 30 minutes of blogging, I will take Thucydides every time.

See, Wretchard, something edifying came out of your post after all...
I can walk away from the ol' PC anytime I want and stay away. I'll do it for 10 minutes to prove I'm right.
At least the rates of newspaper and TV addiction seems to be rapidly abating, thanks to persistent inoculation campaigns by blogs. So, on the whole, we're all healthier in our rates of information consumption addictions.
