This article explains the anonymous "nobody" gone famous in a very short amount of time, who eventually went crazy from his use of the Internet. Jason Russell was the man responsible for the Kony documentary of 2012, where he explained that the warlord of Africa, Joseph Kony had to be caught. The video was going to be published for 2012, but then deleted. Apparently within the first few days he only got two hours of sleep, perpetually checking and updating his Facebook and Twitter.
He was eventually diagnosed "reactive psychosis" which is a temporary form of insanity based on his overuse and obsession with keeping up-to-date with the social media. Apparently this is a new diagnosis, but it is very common with the prevalent obsession with the new technology. He was hospitalized for a few months, and was later released. The Internet has a deleterious effect on the mind's of many people associated with it, and this is proving to be very dangerous to many Internet users across the globe.
