Internet addiction research.

In my search for something else, I stumbled on an article from 1997 describing research by Dr. Kimberly Young on Addiction, Posted on TechWeb . Suffice it to say that at the time, APA did not grant "disorder status" to Internet addiction despite what the article claims. There are many reasons why this particular research is somewhat flawed, although many agree that there is such a thing as "overuse". Just take a look at the questions at the bottom... :)
