Well yes. With very little effort, you could find the evidence for:

a)health benefits of physical activity vs inactivity (during use of the
Internet)

b)on a paralle "net" the dangers of texting while walking and driving

c)medical students self diagnose a series of conditions through on the path
to treating others.

Leaving aside the speculation on health impacts, my view is that we
should be investing  more in Photovoltaics than wind:

and Energy Efficiency rather than smart meters:
