"Surfing the Internet can be as addictive as drugs, alcohol or gambling. " a university of Pittsburgh researcher said last month.
In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction hooked people into spending 40 hours or more a week online, most often involved in role-playing games or engaging in chat room discussions.
One 17-year-old boy was so addicted to Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a drug-alcohol rehabilitation hospital for 10 days for treatment.
One woman, described by friends, family and children as the perfect homemaker, wife and mother, became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook, clean or do the laundry and was neglecting her children and husband because she was spending as many as 12 hours a day talking to acquaintances on the Internet. Finally her husband said, "choose me or the computer. " She divorced him.
Psychologist Kimberly Young, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh’ s Bradford Campus, found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet.
Of the 396 people who met Young’ s criteria for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women averaged 43 years of age.
The largest group of addicted users of the Internet were people who were not working outside the home : that is, homemakers, students, and those who were disabled or retired.
In a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in Toronto, 82 percent of the addicted users said they had slowly drifted into their addictions.
Young described the Internet as any online system such as America online, CompuServe, Prodigy, computer bulletin board systems or the Internet itself, accessed by an Internet Provider.
