The study is all about correlation not causation. The two things are correlated, but there is no evidence to say that one causes the other.

True! It's likely cart before the horse here. A person is depressed and so does more web browsing--which might, indeed, make them more depressed, but I suspect they started out depressed in the first place.

Tell that to CrackedOut!

LOL!

Psychologists from Leeds University found what they said was "striking" evidence that some avid net users develop compulsive internet habits in which they replace real-life social interaction with online chat rooms and social networking sites.

Shocking! Simply shocking! Who would have imagined that?

These "internet addicts" spent proportionately more time browsing sexually gratifying websites, online gaming sites and online communities, Morrison said. They also had a higher incidence of moderate to severe depression than normal users.

Uh-oh. Should I feel guilty about contributing to someone's internet addiction and depression with my sexually gratifying (or so I flatter myself they are) stories?

The Net is less depressing than real life in my experience.

I spend hours at my computer. Some of it on Lit forums, some on another forum and a lot looking at technical stuff.
But I don't think I'm depressed.
How many turns round her neck was it ?
