You mean I haven't done this before?


On the one hand, I've purposefully tried to avoid the issue of web addiction. After all, as will be clear as this column procedes, I see it pretty much as a non-topic. On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that I haven't related, at least in passing, to the issue. I seem to remember that when a couple of studies were published I took the opportunity to have my say on the matter. But try as I may, I haven't yet been able to find where (and thus if) I did this. Perhaps I was thinking about the column on loneliness and alienation that was written after a now rather forgotten study was published. The time I devoted to trying to find where I may have related to the topic of addiction seems to prove once again that if not for my readership, then at least for myself, I should add a search function to these pages.
