um schizo·phre·nia, n.
An internet disorder caused by an individual who reads a significantly higher number of blog, forum or comment posts by many
unique individuals, to the
point of hearing voices in his head that do not correspond to his perceived train of thought.
The pathology behind this disorder is believed to reside behind the individuals 'mental voice' - the voice that speaks the
words in an individual's mind as he reads - and the lack of a consistent train of thought due to the brevity and uniqueness of blog, forum and comment posts
i.e. each post has a different writing style,
tone, train of thought, point of view, that continuing to read these posts, without a rest
period to center one's thoughts, can lead to a lack of sense of self, and beginning to hear one's mental voice speak and think in ways that are foreign to the individual
The reason it is specifically an internet disorder, and not
common schizophrenia, is probably due to the style of internet writing. i.e. if a
person were to read a book, or magazine article, it's length and sense of closure at the end of the article allows an individual to regain their own train of thought.
Can be commonly found to coincide with Google Amnesia, and Hyperlink
