Title: MUST READ - Physical ills caused by TV

I suppose so -- depending on what you are using the Internet for, what kind of monitor you use, if you take breaks, how many hours you use the Net per day, etc.

ADD and myopia certainly apply to any screen-based media. I'd say that a computer disconnected from the Net (and not running a video game, of course) wouldn't cause ADD -- but as soon as you have that "infinite world" to explore, attention becomes a problem. I speak from experience on this one -- both myself, and several people I know.

Hopefully I can reduce some of these problems during Great Lent...   :sad:
