German Scientists Find Internet-Addiction Gene

“German scientists say they have found a link between Internet addiction and a specific genetic mutation that also plays a role in nicotine addiction,” The Local reports.

Makes me think of Björk’s “The Modern Things”:

All the modern things
Like cars and such
Have always existed
They’ve just been waiting in a mountain
For the right moment
Listening to the irritating noises
Of dinosaurs and people
Dabbling outside

Long before there was an Internet, there was a gene to make people addicted to it.
