No one ever blames television anymore.
"China's ministry of health defines a 'net addict as someone who spends at least six hours a day on the web and suffers sleeplessness, lack of concentration, and yearnings to get back online."
Because no one ever spends that much time watching *television*, or misses it in any way if you cut them off from the tube.
Really, to my mind this "Internet Addiction" stuff is just another version of the usual, "Eeek...it's *new*!" panic we've seen over pretty much any new popular thing that comes along.
