May I suggest that you check into the web page whose address is as
follows:
www.computeraddiction.com
It exactly concerns the topic given in your message.
It so happens that it's my wife's web page. Her name is Maressa Hecht
Orzack, and she founded and coordinates the Computer Addiction
Service at McLean Hospital in Belmont, MA, USA.
At the meetings last weekend of the Eastern Sociological Society, held in
Boston, MA, USA, I organized and chaired a round table panel under the
following title: COMPUTER OVER-USE, MIS-USE, ABUSE, AND ADDICTION: SIDE
EFFECTS OF THIS WONDERFUL NEW TECHNOLOGY.
I hope this is useful information for you.
And, I hope that sociologists will study the impacts and significance of
the proliferation of computers. Let's use them to the maximum possible,
but understand as well that excessive and inappropriate utilization may
not be beneficial to people, to organizations, and to society.
Comments from readers of this will be welcome.
