[citation][nom]Dkz[/nom]at the moment myself i'm depressed or may be stressed out i have loads of crap to study and i just can't find the will to do it, when i just cant face the words i tend to go to tom's and check for news.to tell the true, i get depressed when i'm not enjoying people's presence. But who knows i dont see myself as an addict i can spend weeks without internet, hell yes i miss it when i'm bored but i dot die for it either. I had a really crappy day today and thats depressing.[/citation]
Not only that, if you can't identify if the people were depressed before or after internet usage. The whole study is pointless.
It doesn't show any more link between depression and people than saying "Hey! In a new study, we've found a link between being alive and depression" When one has to be true for the other to be true, (You have to be alive to be depressed)
Basically they probably could've done the same study with the same people, switched internet usage for tv watching, and found the same link.
