Cold turkey or over-use - you're in trouble either way on the web

In March we had reports from American psychiatrists telling us Internet addiction could soon be diagnosed as a mental illness.

It's all here.

Then, a couple of days ago, there was this on ZDNet.

It seems bright people at the University of California have worked out that middle-aged and older adults could benefit from surfing the net.

Who needs Dr Kawashima's Brain Training? Maybe, soon there will be a Wii game based on surfing the net, getting frustrated and not finding what you want. You could be scored on how high your blood pressure goes!

And recent research from Yahoo says that we're afraid to switch off our communications for fear of missing something. [See our earlier blog on it].

So, basically doomed if you do, and doomed if you don't!
