gongman: Britons Are 'Addicted To The Net'
Britons are increasingly becoming addicted to the internet, according to a new study.
Research has found a growing number suffer from increased stress when they are unable to get an online 'hit'.
A new word to describe the phenomenon has even been coined - 'discomgoogolation' .
It is defined as a "feeling of distress or anxiety when unable to gain immediate information access".
A poll of 2,100 people found 76% of Britons admitted that they could not live without the internet.
Nearly 45% of those polled said they felt frustrated and confused whilst unable to get online and more than one in four admitted to increased stress levels.
Psychologist Dr David Lewis, who was involved with the study, said: "The proliferation of broadband has meant for the first time in history we have entered a culture of 'instant answers' - a galaxy of information is just a mouse click away and we have become addicted to the web.
"When unable to get online, discomgoogolation takes over.
