  Oh jeeze, both the article and the research are utter crap. 150 students. 11% said they felt isolated and 19% said they felt "distressed". That is hardly a conclusive study and touting it as fact is silly.

  Although I imagine we all appreciate an attempt to provide evidence, it's worth noting that the Daily Mail is basically a tabloid, notorious for misreporting studies and outright lying about things. I think you can get to the paper from http://theworldunplugged.wordpress.com/ http://theworldunplugged.wordpress.com/, though I've not followed through and read it yet.
