Now It's Texting Addiction We Need To Worry About

Why do psychologists love to decide anything that people find useful an "addiction"? For a while it was internet addiction we were supposed to be worried about, but now suddenly they're afraid of texting addicts. They, of course, compare it to drug and alcohol addicts. The difference, which they don't bother pointing out is that drug and alcohol addictions are dangerous by themselves. That's not true of the so-called "texting addiction". There's no chemical change happening in the body. I'm not saying people don't get excessively hooked on things like texting, but comparing it to drug and alcohol addiction is misleading and unfair.
