Even if someone's there from Bumfuck, Egypt and hot-spots their laptop through their phone, their phone will have to connect through a Texas tower.
 
What kind of damage? Or is it merely it causes changes and some interpret those changes as damage?
There have been studies conducted where there are physiological changes to the frontal lobe. A slow moving equivalent to blunt force trauma. Mind you, similar studies have shown online gambling has had similar impacts. Its the combination of chemical reations and chronic visual stimulation and can in layman's terms, re-wire your brain which makes these addictions because your brain and body are craving the reaction.

There is a great book called the Power of Habit that discusses this.

Not sure what you mean by self-induced? Habits can be changed no question. But some are so powerful they take a lot of time and work to accomplish. I have always believed that for most adults, unhealty habits and behaviors do not truely change until we become uncomfortable.

BTW, addiction replacement is a valid treatment option.
