You've probably heard of Google Glass (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/30/google-glass-review/) owners who seemingly can't put the wearable down (https://twitter.com/Scobleizer/status/326544940278632449), but there's now at least one reported instance of genuinely addictive behavior. Doctors at Naval Medical Center San Diego claim (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306460314003153) that a 31-year-old Navy serviceman is the first person to be diagnosed with a Glass-related internet addiction disorder. The patient wore the head-mounted computer for up to 18 hours a day, and was so attached to it that he would instinctively reach for his right temple (to activate Glass) whenever you asked him a question, whether or not the device was there. He's getting better after having spent 35 days in on-site treatment, according to doctors; that reflexive movement doesn't come up so often, and the man is both less irritable and more focused.
