Mexican Addicts

The Mexican Psychoanalytical Association says that 2 percent of the nation's 11- through 18-year-olds are addicted to the internet. While that number pales in comparison to the estimated 41 percent of young online junkies in Spain, the Mexican figure has quadrupled in the past two years.

A small number compared to the rest of the world, but still worrying in that the figure is rising--odd how computer dependency mimics drug addiction in Mexico.
