Overdosing On Social Networks?
http://bit.ly/YfKHkm How Do You Know When You’re Overdosing On Social Networks? ocial networks are captivating – there’s no doubt. But an unforeseen (or potentially foreseen, but ignored) consequence is addiction. Social networks have been so good at “helping” us, but now they’re hindering us. From what you might ask? Well, ask your friends, family, parents, even children what they think ... ... and although it is often joked about, it isn’t a joking matter. |

http://on.mash.to/TGwa2j The 10 Types of Social Media Addicts [INFOGRAPHIC] Social media addiction: a disease likely affecting millions, but one that’s hard to track because it comes in many forms. The afflicted may reveal themselves as serial likers. They may have push notifications set for the most minor of social media updates.

Internet addiction is real, German researchers say
http://wapo.st/Qui2Gb Internet addiction is real, German researchers say. The team at Bonn interviewed 843 people and found 132 revealed “problematic behaviour” in how they handle the internet. In what might come as a surprise, to those who assume men are more prone to becoming web-obsessed, the variation perhaps linked to internet addiction appeared to occur more frequently in women. ”The sex-specific genetic finding may result from a specific subgroup of internet dependency, such as the use of social networks,” Dr Montag suggested. |

Internet Addiction Guide
http://psychcentral.com/netaddiction/ Internet Addiction Guide What "Internet addiction disorder" (IAD) is still difficult to define at this time. Much of the original research was based upon the weakest type of research methodology, namely exploratory surveys with no clear hypothesis or rationale backing them. Coming from an atheoretical approach has some benefits, but also is not typically recognized as being a strong way to approach a new disorder. More recent research has expanded upon the original surveys and anecdotal case study reports. However, as I will illustrate below later, even these studies don't support the conclusions the authors claim. |

While anyone who uses a computer could be vulnerable, those people who are lonely, shy, easily bored, or suffering from another addiction or impulse control disorder are especially vulnerable to computer abuse. |
