Internet Addictions... help needed.

Dreamer128 · 11-01-2003, 06:47 AM

I'm getting old. I could have sworn I posted something about this earlier, but now it is nowhere to be found

A brief summary of my previous post:
-I'm writing an article on Internet Addictions
-Time is my enemy here.
-I have yet to find any information on the kind of people that become addicted to serving.
-All suggestions and links are very welcome.
Thanks in advance, guys.

Feel free to quote me:

I was addicted to Phantasy Star Online for 8100 hours of play... I kept going back because I developed freindships online and had no real life freinds so all my spare time went into PSO. My character and I were like one in the same in the end of it all, only thing was he had everything and I didnt actually have anyone. So I quit.

Other addictive internet things you could write about: Bejewled! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I found these journal articles that address internet addiction. Most of the journals are available online, and I made sure they were very recent as e-journals generally don't go back further than 5 or 6 years. Using e-journals rather than websites as sources is also much more safe regarding accurate information, as the articles have been peer reviewed.
