I'll call bull shit on this. Its a great temptation to check it when its just there. I check mine a lot. But when I'm busy I can easily go an entire week without missing it. I spend easily 80 hours per average week on a computer so I guess I'd be in the upper thresholds of users out there. I recently spent a month in thailand which included a fortnight without power, did I miss the internet? not really, only in the evenings when I realised I was't tired and there wasn't anything else to do. If anything the amount of entertainment I expect has increased but nothing else. Perhaps an emotional dependancy thats easily placated by other mediums. But not addiction, theres no physical dependancy, no withdrawals, you aren't going to go into shock and cold sweats from missing out on twitter after 24 hours. I sure as hell don't get a stress headache like when I haven't had a coffee in a few days...
