据称，社会病态开始在网络空间浮出水面（即，技术成瘾）。迄今为止，很少有经验证据表明计算活动（即，互联网使用，黑客，编程）是上瘾的。传闻证据表明，典型的“瘾君子”是青少年，通常是男性，很少或没有社交生活，很少或没有自信。这篇文章集中在五个过度使用计算机的案例研究。有人认为，在这五个案例中，只有两个描述了“上瘾”的主题。在评估中使用了成瘾成分标准。在大多数情况下，过度使用纯粹是症状性的，并强调了受试者如何使用互联网/计算机来弥补其他缺陷。
It has been alleged that social pathologies are beginning to surface in cyberspace (i.e., technological addictions). To date, there is very little empirical evidence that computing activities (i.e., internet use, hacking, programming) are addictive. Anecdotal evidence indicates that the typical "addict" is a teenager, usually male, with little or no social life, and little or no self-confidence. This article concentrates on five case studies of excessive computer usage. It is argued that of the five cases, only two of them describe "addicted" subjects. Addiction components criteria were used in the assessment. The excessive usage in the majority of cases was purely symptomatic and was highlighted how the subjects used the Internet/computer to counteract other deficiencies.
