Wired News: Tech Addicts Need Textual Healing

"Dr. Mark Collins... was reported as saying that patients at the well-known addiction clinic were increasingly displaying compulsive behavior toward their mobile phones.

Collins, head of the addictions unit at the clinic, said that some patients spend up to seven hours a day sending text or SMS messages (as well as hanging out in Internet chat rooms), which in one case even resulted in repetitive strain injury."

This doctor should check out the texting habits here in the Philippines. Repetetive Strain Injury will be at an all time high here in about five years.

There's even a Cell Phone/SMS service called ADDICT MOBILE.
