US internet addicts ‘as ill as alcoholics’

The US could be rife with “internet addicts” who are as clinically ill as alcoholics … The study, carried out by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in California, US, indicates that more than one in eight US residents show signs of “problematic internet use”.

The folks who are constantly on Facebook / Myspace / whatever-else-social-network, are sure to attest to this. I mean the sites are like crack to chicks who like to parade around in boobie showing shirts and cheek peeking shorts. It’s good times, for amateur voyeuristic porn-ish material. Not to mention the stalking capabilities!

Anyways this is old news to those of us who were around for the IRC craze and subsequent ICQ then AIM phases of the internet. Ah the good ol’ days. Remember those crappy 3D graphic’d chatrooms? Oh and The Realm? Best times ever.
