Technology causing anxiety

After not having internet access this week I realized something...it gave me worse anxiety than I could explain.  I felt cut off from the world, I felt like I couldn't find any information, and it sucked.  I acutally went out into my garage and looked through my boxes of books for something to read.  In my whole life I never thought I would find myself addicted to reading.  I always thought I was addicted to information.  This makes me wonder if there is something to be said about technology being related to certain anxiety disorders. 

My bf has GAD and he is an network engineer.  He is immersed in it.  From knowing some of hos friends I have come to notice they also suffer form anxiety.  I am not saying there aren't other ways one can have anxiety, but it sure seems to be something worth looking into.

I know when I used to go to work in a building with nothing but servers, routers, switchers, satellite dishes, receivers, etc. that I would feel energized.  I loved walking into the building.  I also worked there for a long time.

I have become so dependant on technology that it would ake me go through withdrawls if I didn't have it.  I don't know why I am even talking about this.  I am medicated.
