Internet Addiction

This is a problem many of us are going through and may consider 'normal.' However according to the Tech Radar, the Beijing Health Ministry has declared 'Internet addiction' a 'disorder' and will now join the ranks of other disorders including alcoholism. Lifehacker reports that this new disorder's diagnosis can be made by determining the time you spend online. If you spend more than 6 hours and get withdrawal symptoms for taking a break, you have the disorder. Wow. I wonder what the withdrawal symptoms could be.
