Many of our Internet behaviors, such as gambling or gaming on the Internet, or even Facebooking, can do as much damage to the pleasure center as any powerful drug. The pleasure center can become so flooded that only the “big” stimulants can get a message to the pleasure center. Little, ordinary pleasures are ignored because they do not have the power to overcome the flooding…. What this all means is that the thrills of our digital world, if abused, can be as addicting as any drug and rob you of the simple joys of life.3
