logging (9) in/on as soon as they arrived home from work, university or school, often remaining on-line (10)

respondent, “but then I think to (11) myself I’ll just try one more page, it might be really good. And then I think

the same about the next page. And the next. And so on.” The study showed no (12) difference in the rate of

company of their computer to (14) that of the other people. They were found to be more (15) likely to be

depressed than moderate users.
