Johnson Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9780754674962, 0754674967 eText ISBN: 9781317023616, 1317023617 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 2009 Format: EPUB Available from $ 23.98 USD SKU 9781317023616R90 Overuse of the internet is often characterized as problematic, disruptive, or addictive, with stories frequently claiming that online use interferes with relationships, or that 'excessive' time in front of computer screens is unhealthy. The Multiplicities of Internet Addiction contests the claim that computers - specifically Internet use - are addictive, arguing that use of the Internet is now a form of everyday leisure engaged in by many people in Western society. Offering an analysis of the nature of addiction alongside a detailed empirical study of home computer use, this book will be of interest not only to sociologists of culture and popular culture, but also to scholars of media, ICT and education.
