Hooked on to the Internet?


Recommended Posts

Is the internet an extension of our nervous system? Is addiction to the internet a reflection of an underlying nervous disorder?

Is it a symptom of social anxiety? And will it really replace real socialization? Can a chat bot replace a mentor or benefactor?

What does the future presage? (as the internet grows will it become a social anathema like obesity?).

 

Please express your views.

 

Thanks in advance.
