In a nutshell - What is this about?

I created this blog for those who are interested on Internet Addiction and my request to Linden Lab to display a cautionary note mentioning Internet Addiction to the people signing in.

After all this time, this has become just a way to place this on the conversation. This is in a nutshell all I strive for.


Your liberty to read or leave its not denied on this space.


Virtual communities have enormous potential and will be part of many people's life's and work. So we need to take a thoughtful approach towards this. SL has an extraordinary pull and this phenomenon can result in dramatic damage to people who develop an addictive attachment to them.

  1. People joins in with no knowledge of this phenomenon
  2. Awareness of a danger helps reduce its potential harm
  3. Any tool to display this reality, might prevent those who read it

All ideas an opinions are welcome, posts with foul or offensive language might be deleted. Some information and videos might be disturbing for some people please be advised.

Addiction by hours

Whats a normal user versus a heavy user and where is addiction? I don't have the answers for that one. But I suggest the analysis of this by arranging the Adoption Curve or Life Cycle of users through a maturation period.

Some people achieves-balance- immediately. Some folks, well, become addicted and some other never become interested. Where is addiction? As with other cases like alcohol, it must come when it affects the ability of the person to function in society.
