In my last post I wrote about influence of media, how media changes people' view and opinion about something. But still no comment.
Now I'd like to write about internet addiction. During last 2 weeks I read articles and heard conversations about it lot. So now I want you to know my opinion.
On the one side, I think internet is so beneficial to many of us in so many ways. For education, communication and work, the internet is used everywhere. Some people sometimes feel more comfortable and rested being online, using internet rather than real communication. Internet can relieve our stress and tension. People can take out their anger, stress and overwhelming feeling by playing games, chatting, or blogging. For some people internet is the only way to keep in touch with far away family and friends. Everybody uses internet for so many reasons.
On the other side, spending a lot of time online only becomes a problem when it absorbs too much of your time, causing you to neglect your relationships, your work, school, or other important things in your life. Unfortunately people addicted to internet not having known themselves, if you know what I mean. There are several symptoms and signs that tell you that your internet usage have become a problem or not.
- Do you frequently find yourself being online longer than you intended?
- Is your social life suffering because of all the time you spend online?
- Do you use the Internet as an outlet when stressed, sad, or for sexual gratification or excitement?
Most common internet addictions are cybersex, online gambling, and cyber-relationship addiction.
Also we have to agree that there are lot of alternate ways to spend our time instead of using internet. For example playing sport, hiking, reading a book etc.
But I think today's young generation can't imagine being without internet. If you agree with that or not, comment pls.
