Ever forget your phone at home or get stuck somewhere with no cell service, no laptop and feel like you could freak the heck out if you don't get online stat? Yeah, that's called addiction, and according to a recent study by the University of Maryland's International Center for Media and Public Agenda, it's very real. In their recent study they deprived volunteers from 12 universities across the world of computers, mobile devices, televisions, radios, etc. for 24 hours. Volunteers were asked to record their feelings throughout the experiment, and to no surprise they were expressing symptoms of drug withdrawal including feeling anxious, fidgety, lonely, awkward, and more.
I'm going to go ahead and take their word for it. I'm an addict, I have no problem admitting it.
