It is common to surf internet nowdays. but it is uncommon to surf the internet all long day!!!! we must put a limit on how long we should surf the internet. This is because we could put our eyes on high risks if we watch the screen's computer too long. Addicted of internet will give effect to your physical and mental because it make your body become weak and your mental become weaker and weaker.  



Internet addiction affects as many as one in eight Americans, according to the Center for Internet Addiction. Dr. Jerald J. Block in a 2008 article in the "American Journal of Psychiatry" suggests Internet addiction should be included in the fifth edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Block defines Internet addiction as a compulsive activity involving excessive use, withdrawal and negative repercussions including social isolation, lying, low achievement and fatigue.

CAUSES OF INTERNET ADDICTION

 For example, online casinos often prove irresistible to people struggling with gambling problems. If a person with a history of problematic gambling is only using the Internet to place bets, it's likely his behavior is just a progression of his existing gambling addiction and not an entirely separate disorder. The same logic would apply to someone with a shopping addiction who can't stop buying items on eBay or a sex addict who spends eight hours each day looking at pornographic websites.

TECHNOLOGY GIVE YOU CHOICE
GOOD AND BAD
IF YOU CHOOSE THE BAD SIDE. YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND INTERNET IN A BAD WAY.
IF YOU CHOOSE THE GOOD SIDE. YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND INTERNET IN A GOOD WAY.

TIPS TO CONTROL INTERNET ADDICTION

  • Each time you sign on to the Internet, note the date, time and sites you're visiting. 
  • Record how you're feeling before you sit down at the computer to determine if you're using the activity as a way to alleviate boredom, find companionship or soothe yourself after a professional or personal conflict or setback.
  • Discover how much time you actually spend on the Internet and uncover factors that lead to the desire to "lose yourself" on the computer.

  7. I think most of the people right now is too often spend their time with internet. Is this internet addiction is some kind of disease or something? or people call it mental disorder? Because many people is too hook up with this technology. Doesn't matter to get information or what. They just rely too much with internet. None of that matter. Good briefing about internet addiction. I'm agree with u.
