(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - The Internet may have become just as addictive as smoking and drinking. A new study by consumer research firm Intersperience found that 53 percent of those surveyed were upset when they were denied Web access, while 40 percent were lonely, even if the time away from the Internet was short. Intersperience surveyed more than 1,000 people. One person surveyed even said being deprived of the Internet was "like having my hand chopped off."
First off, the internet is absolutely addictive, I'm not going to argue otherwise...Pretty sure it drives my girlfriend crazy that anytime I'm bored for 2.5 seconds I'm picking up my Xoom to see what the internet has been up to.
That said, I've never once contemplated sucking dick for highs speed broadband access, never once robbed my grandma's change purse to access an internet cafe, and so far, long weekends away from the world wide web haven't resulted in myself frothing at the mouth and other withdrawal symptoms.
