Internet (Addiction) Age

Cartoon by Jack Pittman.

South Koreans were among the first to truly embrace the internet. Perhaps that’s why the country has also become one of the first to treat internet addiction as a psychiatric disorder. Author Douglas Rushkoff traveled to South Korea for PBS' Frontline: Digital Nation to present a glimpse into South Korea's battle against digital obsession.
