ADDICTION…. What it is? Is it only a word or a disease? Are people only addicted to smoking, taking pills, alcohol, drugs etc? I think most of the people, including children, are addicted to technology!I want to share my views on this topic. How much this addiction effects our daily routine life? So let me start from the ladies either they're working woman or a housewife.Nowadays it's very common to have an account on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. Most of the ladies like to upload their daily status and their profile pics and due to that sometimes they burn their food and sometimes they ignore their daily house chores which are actually necessary.This addiction causes the house atmosphere to change and because of it these types of mothers are getting distance from their children. The horrible fact is this, these ladies are unknown to this distance. Sometimes it's not enough to do only your house chores your family needs your attention more.Let's move to men. Like women, men are also interested in technology. This interest causes addiction. The men at work face a lot of problems caused by this addiction. Whenever they get free time, they just rush towards their phones and computers, they can utilize this time to complete their remaining work. Not only this, they sleep late using their WhatsApp, Facebook and other social networks, and then they wake up early in the morning for their offices which affects their health, or else they lag behind on their work.Not only adults, children are also terribly addicted to technology! Today's generation, no matter if it's a 6 year old child or a 13 year old child they need a smartphone in their hand. Is it good for their health? The mobile phone's radiations are very strong that they may affect a human brain. They're harmful for adults also but because of sensitive brains it's most harmful for the children. The problem that occurs is that the parents think that their child grows more by this technology, whereas it's not true at all.This addiction, nowadays lives like a family member in one's house. It's not bad to use this technology, but as long as it's in limited amount....
@ setareh, I am also addicted to technology but when I realised that it effects on my daily routine life I wanted to stop myself but it's really difficult to cut off from it.
You are right. These new technologies have so much attraction especially for young people, so every body has to be careful. We shouldn't be extravagant even in good habits such as reading books. If we keep the balance for every thing that would be the best. I am so addicted to my phone and my computer I think I should reconsider it .
@ lady Anne, I didn't say like that, for learning purpose or for earning purpose if you use any technology it isn't counted in addiction. I clearly mentioned this in my blog that if technology is being used in proper manner so it's good but if being used for the whole day and all the other works are ignored so its really worse.
According to your question, I say that if a person is using EC for a learning purpose, so that person won't be counted as a person suffering from Addiction. As for learning you'll give a little part of your day, 1hr, 2hr max 3hr but not whole the day where as the people who are addicted to this technology use the facilities most of time and they ignore rest of the work!
Technology nowadays is more addictive than drugs, I've seen lots of people who spend most of their time online rather than their own family. In fairness to techno, there's so much help it gives to us like I we're apart from our loved ones or any of our family members its serves as the best medium to be with them and talk to them even they're miles away, such as using skype, fb Msgr, or any communication apps that we can use. It will also feel like that they're beside us when we use those apps especially when it has video calls.
By the way, you forgot to mention that there's other people who's addicted to use these technology not because they're addicted to use it but maybe they're addicted to someone whom they adore online. Maybe they're the one's who's in a long distance relationships.
People who are not so busy in life, found busyness in the internet world but people who are so busy in their careers only make this little addiction a way to unwind themselves from their humdrum jobs.
Addiction has a good effect if you gain something profitable out of it like addiction to practising English in EC. Oh, I'd rather call it a regular practice than an addiction. Whether we like it or not, addiction is always harmful and has a malevolent effect.
Do you think going to EC is a form of addiction? Well, EC has become a platform for many learners for their regular English practice, more specifically in the field of writing. It's a good habit though.
