2,000 young people between the ages of 11 and 17 were asked to share how often they connect to the internet, and their responses reveal a generation of online junkies. “The internet nearly always controls my actions. I have been told that I am addicted to the internet, and prefer its company rather than being with other people. I feel lost without the internet,” one Year 8 girl admitted. “I seriously have withdrawal if someone takes my tablet away. I walk around the house with it even though it’s not even turned on, I just like being with it!” said another girl currently in Year 9.
