The United States could be rife with Internet addicts as clinically ill as alcoholics, an unprecedented study released suggested...

...the typical Internet addict was a single, college-educated, white male in his 30s, who spends approximately 30 hours a week on non-essential computer use.

so how much time do u spend on the net every week ? if its more than 30, well u could be addicted acc to this study.

It's not US that tops the list of most addicted Country!! It's actually South Korea!!
There are more serious online Game-addicts in South Korea than anywhere else
in the world. Some of the these guys can't live without Internet even for a single day!!
No wonder that parents of these kids are worried & consulting psychiatrists so that steps
can be taken to minimize the Net-addiction & also make them concentrate more on their studies.
Even Japan has got more technology addicts than U.S.

I guess its India that tops the list because it produces large numbers of IT professionals and is known for that.
Neways I'm insomniac and hardly get to sleep 4 hrs and spend almost 6 hrs a day on PC. SO 6*7 => 42 + a few extra hrs on sunday :shock:, I'm ruined!!

I guess the cause of most netaholic cases is thinkdigit.com, orkut.com,hi5.com and various other forums and friend and dating sites! :D
