[Report] Need help with internet addiction research

[Peacemaker]

I have a argumentive paper to do for English class. My topic is that of Internet addiction. If you guys know of any interesting articles by doctors or research in this please post links here. It would be of great help to me.

I am not looking for "man kills self because of everquest" news posts. I am looking for research in it by like the government or respected colleges/ individuals.

I think you're talking about my friend's brother, he died of a heart attack cuz he was so fat because all he did was play CS all day long. He was ranked like #5 in the world or something.

The KOrean died of literally sitting. I believe a blood clot or something formed in his leg from sitting and not moving for way too long.
