This was a really instneetirg blog post, thank you. I agree with everyone’s comments in regards to the article as well. First of all, I think it’s outrageous that someone would pay $14,500 for internet rehab. I may be going out on a limb here when saying this, but I think this is another opportunity for desperate psychologists and therapists to capitalize on people’s fears by pushing another psychological disorder through the American Psychiatric Association. There are too many entities involved here who are profiting from this, and the rehab center in Redmond is one of them (where they probably have found a niche market). If someone is using the internet excessively, obsessively looking at explicit websites or playing video games exceedingly to the point where it’s disrupting daily life, perhaps the source and cause of what is driving them to do so should be identified first before another addiction is added to the long list of classified addictions. In the case of China, internet use is already regulated so this seems like another attempt for the government to control the people. We are in an age of sensory overload where entertainment and information sources are unlimited and omnipresent, therefore easily distracting almost all of us at times. It almost reminds me of the thought police from George Orwell’s 1984.
