Cyberdependance.ca - Quand l'utilisation d'Internet devient un problème. Welcome to the toilet-talking, midnight phone-junkie generation. Smartphones will be in the hands of half the population within six years, Ofcom predicts.
Photograph: Frank Baron for the Guardian We are all media junkies now. We Britons spend more than four hours a day watching television, the highest level of consumption for at least five years, which is probably good news given that there are 510 channels to choose from. We bought 9.55m television sets last year, fewer than in 2009, but twice the number sold back in 2002. Of those 9.55m sets nearly a third were larger than 33in. Radio listening has never been greater either – a record 91.6% of us listen to at least 15 minutes in a week. This wasn't what was supposed to happen. Ofcom, though, gives us some clues as to the secrets of the new British efficiency. What the deluge of official data also shows is how we come to expect technological change.

Digital Age overload: ‘Internet addiction’ to be classified as mental illness. Oung people have cut back on drink, but web addiction may make us sicker. While new figures show young people have cut back on binge drinking, one reason is that they are socialising more online.
Photograph: Jim Wileman /Alamy It came as a surprise to many last week when the Office for National Statistics released a set of figures revealing a decrease in heavy drinking in Britons between the ages of 16-24. (Our older compatriots were not so well behaved. Shame on you.) What happened to the kids nursing half-empty bottles of Smirnoff on night buses or teens throwing WKD back like lemonade? Perhaps we're changing. The easy explanation is money – there's less of it about. It seems too obvious, then, to blame the decline on a lack of money. Perhaps there's something much more obvious going on, something much more optimistic. Interaction has changed drastically over the past decade and using alcohol as social lubricant seems pretty formulaic and unnecessary. However, while we might be drinking less, the shift in our priorities comes with a forfeit. Web addicts' withdrawal symptoms similar to drug users. 19 June 2013Last updated at 07:52 ET Internet addiction is said to be a clinical disorder marked by out-of-control internet use Internet addicts can suffer a form of cold turkey when they stop using the web - just like people coming off drugs, according to research.
A study by Swansea and Milan universities found young people had "negative moods" when they stopped surfing the net. Heavy internet-users also tended to be more depressed, the research found.
