摘要:As the number of Internet users increases, so does the number of Internet addicts. Some addicts are failing in school, losing their jobs, and divorcing their families. The value of this research is in the possible identification of candidates for addiction, so that their behavior can be interdicted and treated. Tests on data from the GVU 10th survey showed approximately ten percent of Internet users were compulsive users, and that the early stereotype—young white computer-savvy males—is no longer valid.
