A Wired News columnist working on his next installment has triggered an online discussion about how "information addiction"--a condition that make us more likely to surf the Net than curl up in front of the tube--is affecting our romantic relationships.

Nick Currie, aka "Momus," recognized that in his own relationships, much of the together time involves sitting in front of separate laptops, having separate experiences. Curious if this behavior is taking a toll, he put out an online call for stories about "information couples." Among other questions, he asked whether couples are socializing while simultaneously surfing and whether the less-addicted couple feels like an information widow or widower.
