"Internet addiction"
I hate that phrase. It's stupid. These days you can just about live your whole life online if you work it out properly. The phrase "Internet addiction" is functionally equivalent to "In-Person addiction" or "Telephonic addiction". It's a medium of interaction, that's it, you still have to have something or someone to be interacting with.
Now, if you want to talk about being addicted to porn, or games, or whatever, then there can be a conversation. But "Internet addiction" is just silly.
