Most of us will use the internet sporadically to enjoy ourselfs or find answers we are looking for. It dont have to be an unhealthy relationship with your computer.
Those who has an internet addiction, it can be very consuming and it affects every aspect of their lives. They lying about the spending time on the computer, making excuses for the things they are doing. They neglect family and friends for the anonymity of the internet.
Internet addiction does not only affect adults, younger people are suffering as well. Many Teens give up on other things they once thought it was important. Parents should monitor their children’s time spend on the internet and look if other activities are affected by it.
