What is Internet Addiction?

in #internet6 years ago

Hello,

Today my topic is very common but informative. And it is

important too." Internet Addiction"

The internet is the largest source of information in the world.

With its websites and chat rooms, it is the means of

communication in all places all over the face of the earth.

Since its conception in 1973, the internet has grown at a

whirlwind rate. Some say that the is so enjoyable that

it is almost addictive. The problem is that researchers are

beginning to agree with them. Studies are revealing that there

may be an actual form of addiction involved with overuse of the

internet. Identifying which category of addiction the internet falls

into is the problem. There are no real answers yet because

research in this area is at the beginning stages. While lost in this

so-called 'Cyber Community' for long periods of time, people are

neglecting other important activities like time with the family,

socializing, work and health concerns.

The internet is the largest most versatile source of information in

the world today. But with all this power at our fingertips,

are there any negative impacts of using this interface"

Are we as 'simple humans' capable of interacting

with such a powerful communication source.

Recent studies are beginning to uncover evidence

that would suggest that maybe some of us are not

so capable of dealing with this technology.

In fact, as more research is conducted, experts

are finding that the internet may even be addictive!
