@DaasYochid if its not an addiction and what people are really “addicted” to is socializing, business, information and basically life in general that sort of does take the teeth out of the argument – yes people have been wasting time since time existed since time was invented. the internet just provides them with an easier outlet to do so. the solution is to be more careful with time management and be more productive not accuse the internet of being the problem. my issues with the internet pertain to shmiras enayim related issues alone and i resent the attempt to make it into an all consuming boogey man. i could go through this particular piece line by line and show you how the claims do not logically follow. arguing against the usefulness of the internet in my opinion is just plain ridiculous and that is precisely what this piece tries to do. the headline is “deadly attraction” and you still think that the author is not engaging in hyperbole.
