Boredom?

There s not much else to do and nowhere to go since it all costs money. So they probably live life thru the screens

It’s important to have a hobby. Browsing the internet is not a hobby.

I can see this being true. A lot of people have friends through instant messaging/Skype, Facebook, community forums etc. So it's a lot easier to just go online and start hanging out with people.

I know this sounds a little weird, but for me I can talk to friends and family that live far away, so that is pretty cool.
