Answer 1

Games, particularly MMORPG's such as World of Warcraft, Runescape, pogo and other site games. But its not just games that have people becoming addicted to the internet, its can be anything, some worse than others. Some people get addicted to myspace, facebook, ebay, forums, yahoo answers, porn, anything you can think of.

And yes, its very true that people have died from playing the internet too long. Not that long ago a boy in China died and a year or two ago a boy in Korea, they didn't eat, sleep or anything it was solid 24-hour computer runs.

In my public speaking class last semester we did a paper on internet addiction, some of the stories we read in class were awful, everything from flunking out of college to marriages breaking up, betrayals...the internet can be a good thing or a bad thing, depening on how you use it.
