"Internet junkies in chilling cold turkey experiment"

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09/23/internet_junkies/


A study sponsored by Yahoo and OMD keep study participants away from their internet connections for 14 days. They found themselves quickly succumbing to "withdrawal and feelings of loss, frustration and disconnectedness". They even had problems finding people that would volunteer for the experiment. People don't want to give up the the Internet for two weeks even for a scientific study.

After many years of highspeed connections on a daily basis I know I have trouble even putting up with dial up connections. Could I give up the Net for two weeks? ERG!

What about you?

Hypography?
