Need help finding a specific article on work/computer addiction due to the mind not being challenged

In the past week or so I read an article somewhere that talked about how many people are workaholics or addicted to their computers and spend all their free time either working or doing mindless computer activities all because they aren't doing anything challenging with their free time. So when they think "free time" they just think "boring" and "sitting around doing not much of anything."

But, as luck would have it, I can't find the article anywhere. I've searched The Google far and wide and dug through the past months worth of my RSS feeds...it just seems to have disappeared.

So...I'm looking for someone who might know which article I'm referring to.
