Internet Addiction Center Opens in US

Just great, they are opening an internet addiction center in the U.S. now. Can you even classify the internet as an addiction? What kind of moron gets up at 3am every day and plops his ass down in front of the damn internet for 12 or more hours a day anyhow? Well, I mean…you know…besides me.

The center, called ReSTART, is somewhat ironically located near Redmond, headquarters of Microsoft and a world center of the computer industry. It opened in July and for $14,000 offers a 45-day program intended to help people wean themselves from pathological computer use, which can include obsessive use of video games, texting, Facebook, eBay, Twitter and any other time-killers brought courtesy of technology.
