MarketWatch: Study: Life without Net is unbearable

A Conifer Research study, sponsored by Yahoo, found that most internet users simply can't go more than two weeks without web access. The study even had difficulty getting started, as it proved very hard to get participants to deliberately give up internet access. Study participants hadn't realized how much email and quick information lookups had become part of their lifestyle. All reported withdrawal symptoms, including a sense of loss and discontentedness.
