Project descriptionAs I have noted on my publications all over wikipedia, and the explanation on my commons talk page, I think that internet addiction is partially contributed by Wikipedia.

I have a medical and neuroscientific theory based on simple philosophy that Widescreen is more "real" - we have two eyes, and we mostly use widescreen computers now. I think with phones, if Wikipedia is locked to widescreen for those who want to select it, it will be a little harder to hold, a little more easy to see the reality behind it, and just let it be rather than being "addicted" or "dependent" on the content of Wikipedia.

I have some data supporting this theory and it is being investigated from a legal perspective in regards to social media applications and in regard to a smartphone manufacturer.
