US Students Suffering From Internet Addiction

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the also-high-on-sheen dept.

PsiCTO writes "American college students are hooked on cellphones, social media and the Internet and showing symptoms similar to drug and alcohol addictions, according to a new study. This probably falls under the no-big-surprise category. CBC Radio 1 played a couple of interviews with students that took part in the study. I especially liked the quote in which the student felt like he had a phantom limb experience with his cell phone."

    Students in the Maryland study also showed no loyalty to news programs, a news personality or news platform.

    Must be why Katie Couric left.
