Hello! :) I think the web sites referred to are these: Is it? I was wondering about internet addiction and the socially isolated individual and potential harms. I was reading an article regarding the benefits and risks about the internet. Does anybody have any views about this? Also, I was wondering about potential risks, like teenagers being exploited on the internet. Is it similar to concerns regarding television violence? Is there not an alarming concern in this area? Hmm,.... I think I ought to stop babbling.... :P

For individuals who feel socially incompetent, the internet may help them to learn social skills at best. On the other hand, they may become socially isolated .... & ???? ...an internet addict..... ?????
The internet is still afterall a "communicative medium", so to speak, isn't it?
Are there many cases about teenagers who have been in danger because of the internet?
