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.

Internet Addiction defined by The Center for Online Addiction

The Center for Online Addiction offers hope and valuable resources to those seeking information about Internet addiction. They display a thoughtful definition stating that Internet addiction is a type of compulsive disorder. As an organization they are specifically dedicated to helping people who suffer from this new form of addictive behavior.

Since my personal effort its towards helping prevention through creating awareness, The Center for Online Addiction Recovery might be a good place to look for professional assistance in treatment. It certainly seems a professional well established center, if you choose to research them to get help, I strongly suggest to ask many questions before starting any treatment.

And why not? lets us know about your experience with them in case other person wants reference.
