Well, philosophically speaking you raise an interesting point. Internet "addiction" would be fundamentally only a mental phenomenon. No external *material* is being introduced into your body to affect your mind/brain. The *material* being *created* in your mind (hormones, neurotransmitters,etc.) would be purely a result of normal experience with your perceptual system.
Oh BTW,
"K" is the main character or narrator or something in Franz Kafka's novel-I think "The Castle" (hey it has been 25 years since I read it). It just struck me, coolMitch
