Addicted to the net? You're not the only one. This piece in Pink News (23 June 2008) reports on a recent article in the American Journal of Psychiatry, where Dr Jerald Block, of Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, says adults are becoming addicted to using the web: "It's much more acceptable for kids to talk about game use, whereas adults keep it a secret. Rather than having sex, or arguing with their wife or husband, or feeding their children, these adults are playing games.
"They exhaust emotions that they could experience in the real world on the computer through any number of mechanisms: emailing, gaming, porn."
