What Is the Disorder Where Addiction to Technology Causes a Loss of Social Skills in the Real World?

Question by Brian: what is the disorder where addiction to technology causes a loss of social skills in the real world?
I remember reading about this a long time ago, but I unfortunately forget the name. I’m not sure if it would be more accurate to describe it as a social phenomenon or disorder, but essentially it revolves around people growing more and more isolated from the real world as they become more and more immersed in technology, such as online games, social networking sites, etc. It seems like simply referring to it as “technology addiction” wouldn’t accurately describe it. Is there any other term?
