The Internet Is For Sad People

“According to researchers at Missouri University of Science and Technology, people suffering from depression tend to spend more time chatting and sharing files with others. Two hundred and sixteen undergraduate students were monitored over a month’s time for actual Internet use. Higher scores on depression surveys — which were given at the beginning of the study — correlated with higher use. About 30 percent of the students met the minimum criteria for depression.”
 — Oh my God, I am on the Internet ALL THE TIME. And I blew past the minimum criteria for depression while I was in the womb and already getting nostalgic about how much I would miss it once I popped out. This study SPEAKS TO MEEEEEE.
