interesting things from my internet addiction research
1.) 73.6% of (North) Americans engage in internet use
2.) In China, internet addiction is legitimized and they have freaky live-in treatment centers for it (in retrospect, I read an article about this once -- but still, whoah), because it has been fucking with young people's school success.
3.) Top 10 Sites Visited by College Men
1. Facebook
2. ESPN
3. Youtube
4. Google

6. Yahoo
