| PROFESSIONAL OPINIONS | ||
Some mental health professionals say people aren't addicted to the Internet they are addicted to the things they can access via Internet, such as pronography. |
||
"As far as just being addicted to the Internet itself, I think that's an oversimplication of a problem that goes way beyond that." said Stephen Kavanagh, a Jacksonville mental health counselor. |
||
Kavanagh said a person may have the predisposition to be addicted to pronography, but if that person is unwilling to be seen in an adult bookstore, that addiction may never develop. |
||
"Now anybody has access to this in the privacy of their own home." Said Kavanagh, who has written a book, Protecting Children in Cyberspace, which outlines the dangers of exposing children to on-line pronography. |
