We may panic if we miss a phone call; we invigorate our day with an
email check; losing data can cause great anxiety...
I'm currently conducting a design research experiment - I'm trying to
become a technology addict through excessive use of internet, email,
tv, phone use, etc. I appreciate that this may sound irrational and
careless to some, however I'm interested in exploring at first hand
the nature of dependence on Information and Communication
Technologies.
If you feel that you are currently dependent on technologies (such as
the internet, mobile phones, chat rooms, email), if you have overcome
your technology 'addiction', or are just interested in this topic,
I'd like to hear your advice or story.
These stories may eventually be used in an academic paper or article,
however all participants will remain anonymous.
