Question

Is this partially the reason for this I mean everyone spending all their time on line?

Answer 1

Nope it was becoming a problem even in the 80's way before 486s which was about the frist computer you could put on the internet, well if you paid by the minute. But that was also during the "jock-culture" was a big deal and still we had over-weight individuals. Really on-line play and interaction can give those that are over weight something to feel powerful about, which is why they eat, its a control thing, were humans, we like control, eating, gives us that over social anxiety. But the on-lining, is more a consequence of technology then a consequence of a fat population, lets just say they'd be just as fat, if not more depressed.... its a social problems thats cause goes deeper then to much time on computers, much deeper...... if anything I see the internet helping these individuals, well if the avertisers would stop dumbing it down.......
