The Social Use of the Internet
Using the Internet
relies on some form of interaction (more so than many other media, with the
possible exception of the telephone), as in the case of email, IRC, chat
rooms, MUDs, and Usenet.
IRC is a particularly interesting example, for
some former users have found reason to create a Usenet group called
alt.irc.recovery
to discuss their efforts to recover from IRC use (if there
is such a thing as Internet addiction, one may imagine this group as the
equivalent of holding AA meetings in a bar).
