FINLAND: A FEW GOOD NERDS An undisclosed number of military conscripts have
been excused from their full six-month term of duty because they are
addicted to the Internet, the Finnish Defense Forces said. Doctors have
found that the young men miss their computers too much. "For people who
play Internet games all night and don't have any friends, don't have any
hobbies, to come into the army is a very big shock,'' said Cmdr.-Capt.
Jyrki Kivela. (Reuters)
