Internet 'addictive like alcohol' ... ?

Recent reports suggest that the internet may be 'addictive', and that being 'connected' is becoming compulsive for some.

Although there seems to be plenty of evidence that we are all becoming more and more dependent on the WWW for the general running of our daily lives, I am not yet convinced that the term 'addiction' really fits this phenomenon.

As for me, I am reasonably content that I don't yet fit into the criteria for internet overuse. After all, look at the date of my last post.....
