Great link kennyc! This not only applies to students, but I see this everyday at work as well.
I do tech support for an insurance company. Our agents use an online program to write and service policies for their clients, to file claims, and to communicate with each other and the corporate office.
I have had agents literally in tears because their computer would not work properly and they could not service the needs of their clients.
While I wouldn't go so far as to classify them as "addicted" I would definitely use the word "dependent"
