World Wide Wibble more addictive than crack
MANDERINS of the Glorious People's Republic of China are concerned that more adolescents are coming down with an addiction to the World Wide Wibble.
The symptoms include insomnia, lack of concentration, anxiety attacks and depression. In fact it sounds like all the problems that teens used to suffer from long before there was an internet.
Apparently a Beijing Centre for treatment of Internet addiction 'Taoran' has had to expand its operations because it is being flooded with patients from all parts of China.
Internet addiction is being treated in the same way as other obsessive compulsive disorders. µ

Still, I'd prefer Internet 100% of the time. You hardly can "overdose" and at least you won't need to sell an arm and a leg (or parents' house) for being addicted.
However I think the chinese government has no interest in interfering here (apart from the censorship) - people become more subductive and content while browsing, and they are less likely to become criminals. It fits The Party's propaganda machine nicely...
