A short time ago, on a blog that discussed the topic of “blog addiction,” I read a comment by someone who stated that she hasn’t heard about any major side effects regarding blogging except that blogging takes a lot of your time.

Until recently, I would have agreed with this comment. Then, however, I began reading about “Internet addiction” and how severe this dependency can be. I started to better understand the gravity of Internet addiction after reading the following statement made by researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine: “The United States could be rife with Internet addicts as clinically ill as alcoholics.”

What did these Stanford researchers mean? Read on for info that clearly illustrates how devastating online addictions can become. More explicitly, in 2005, a 54-year-old male addict, unable to take a break from his online world, died from starvation. How was this possible you ask? Easy. For 7 weeks before his death, he posted comments on one forum after another every 30 seconds while refusing to eat anything.

Since placing posts of forums is very similar to blogging, I am now a firm believer in the unhealthy and the destructive consequences of Internet and blogging addiction.

The planned privatization of Tunisie Telecom will be a major event in Tunisia's telecom history says a report from Arab Advisors. That, along with the government's liberalization plans, will usher in a new era of massive growth and potential in the Tunisian telecom sector.

Privatization is a big step in improving a countries economy . I can't immagine a country without privatisation !
