Interesting article concerning internet addiction.  The article states that the internet has an addictive quality about it, much like a drug.  Much like Turkle suggests, I think people are developing a need to be connected with others and the internet has allowed for constant connection.  I think that internet addiction will become a much bigger problem the more it is available and the more connected one can become with others through the internet.
