It seems a lot of people are worried if they are addicted to the internet.There is a difference between using the internet to your advantage and Internet addiction.
The internet provides limitless opportunities for nearly anything to almost everyone. The internet is wonderful and aides us in many ways every single day. By using the internet we can save time, money, and have convenience compared to traditional ways. We don't want you to believe we are saying that using the internet is bad. The internet is a great tool, we are only saying don't let it take over your life. It is so easy to get caught up with all the things that are going on, on the internet. It can be like living another life, because you can be anyone when you are online. You just need to be able to differentiate between your real life and your life online. Your real life and responsibilities should always come first, and don't let something online impede with your life.
I can see how people get addicted to playing online simulation games. I agree with you in that its fine to play those types of games, but you have to be able to walk away from that after a few hours and live a healthy life. When you are sitting down playing games or looking at the computer for hours at a time, it takes a toll on your body because your blood isn't getting circulated like it should. Actually, in the beginning of August, a guy died from a blood clot that formed after obsessively playing xbox. Go to this link for the story.

Internet can be a very addictive thing. whether the particular site you visit is the interesting or simply having the power to go anywhere in the world with the simple click of a button. i do believe that it is addictive and that it should be used wisely. Upcoming generations especially because they can not lose the fact that fitness is more important!!
ReplyDeleteI think if the internet stops you from doing what you need to do then you may have a addiction. The internet as a whole has an ability to distract you from reality and time seems to freeze while you are endlessly surfing. Many benefits have been provided by the internet but also many new problems.
