I'm a recovering information addict & I'm intimately familiar with the effects of these processes. PG refers here to internet addiction, which is similar to info addiction because the former's a subset of the latter. As it was with cigarettes, all of society is responsible at all levels for its own diseases. Individuals are responsible for learning about addiction-related/-promoting processes in order to make informed decisions about what systems they choose to interact with. Companies are responsible for learning how to design systems that are anti-addictive & still sustainable. Governments are responsible for passing legislation to promote "antibodies." And all are responsible for developing compassionate paths for recovery. It starts with listening to addicts in order to help them identify their needs/wants & help them learn how to meet them in sustainable ways.
