COLLEGE PARK, Md., April 8 (UPI) -- Young people deprived of gadgets and technology report feeling withdrawal symptoms similar to those felt by addicts, a U.S. study says.
A University of Maryland survey of college students at campuses worldwide found four in five students admitted to significant mental and physical distress when forced to spend an entire day without modern technology such as mobile phones, laptops and television as well as social networking activities such as Facebook and Twitter.
