To jbaldy 22: I am constantly surprised when people speak confidently as if they know about something, while they are 100% wrong. It’s ok to say YOU don’t believe there’s such a thing as Internet addiction, but to say it doesn’t exist is patently false. I’ve spoken with several therapists as well as Rabbonim and all agree it most cranky is addiction. And the addiction is not specifically to inappropriate sites. The act of being online alone can be addictive, hence we are now hearing about texting as well. People with tendencies of compulsion or addiction are drawn in by the distraction it provides, not necessarily only in forbidden areas. Do some research before you make conclusions.
