Discomgoogolation

        I recently read this article online, on a news website. That was when I got introduced to this term 'discomgoogolation'. I found it pretty amusing and hence decided to make a mention of it here.

        Apparently, this is a condition that you may suspect yourself to be suffering from if you feel stressed when you cant get online. The article says that 'discomgoogolation is a feeling of distress or anxiety when unable to gain immediate information access'; and that the condition could considerably increase brain activity and blood pressure level. In certain cases, the stress of being disconnected could be equated to that of running late for an important appointment, being about to sit an exam or even being sacked. In simple terms, one could refer to it as 'internet addiction'.

        This kind of web addiction has been attributed to the widespread use of broadband, and a culture of 'instant answers', where a host of information is just a mouse click away.

        Ummm.... am, I suffering from 'discomgoogolation'?
