Tobacco companies, drug cartels and Starbucks beware--the Internet may be giving you a run for the money in the addiction department.

According to a study sponsored by Yahoo and advertising company OMD, Internet detox makes people feel emotionally vacant and lost in life. Twenty-eight participants were asked to record their thoughts and feelings during a two-week period of no Net usage. From studying the subjects' video and written diaries, researchers noticed that two weeks of Internet deprivation affected social lives and left many feeling bored.

Not surprisingly, the study's sponsors said the results provide a good opportunity for marketers.

I can go a weekend without AT. I can't go a weekend without checking my email. Just can't wait for another option for increasing the size of my penis, getting that amazing donkey video, and applying for YACC.

But think about how much you do online. I do online billpay for almost all my bills, get my news online, shop online, get tickets online, just about everything.

Same here, I won't look at AT when I am home but I always check my email.

It'd be the same as if you took away someone's TV. You take something out of someone's routine, and they need something else to fill it.
