Research shows Brits "addicted to internet"
Research from 118 118 apparently shows that British addiction to the internet is reaching new levels "with growing numbers of Britons suffering increased stress when unable to get their on-line hit".
This supposed increased stress is defined as a "feeling of distress or anxiety when unable to gain immediate information access", and has been given a nice, shiny, new, made-up name: "discomgoogolation".
The data is a from a YouGov study of 2100 Britons that revealed 76% of us said we couldn’t live without the Internet with 17% saying the longest they have been away from the Internet is less than 1 day.
