This just in from Reuters:
Nearly half of Britons suffer "discomgoogolation". Definition: "Feeling stressed or anxious at an inability to access the Internet". Read the article for details of this ailment, such as its physiology and social effects...
But the word suggest the pain is due to Google withdrawal, not more general Internet withdrawal.
It used to be bad enough when folks would equate the web with the Internet. Now it's narrower, equating Google with the Internet... .;-)
