Internet addiction? I think there are quite a lot people who don't regard it as a problem. How can the use of a positive force like the Internet become a negative ,debilitating factor in someone's life? Very simple. Just like the use of food, the drinking of alcohol, or the purchasing of material things can escalate into misuse,so that one's preoccupation with using the Internet becomes an addiction. Or may be the desire to escape life stressors-innocent fun?
Thank you, Natasha, for your post! It's good, that you've written about such an important problem!
Virtual reality and computer games help people to get over psychological traumas, stresses and depression. But you should remember the words of Avicenna (Ibn Sina): "Everything is poison, and only the dose makes the poison impercepteble." :-)))
Hello, Anjana,
Thanks for your paying attention to this issue. I agree with you,that the Internet is useful in many ways. Specially for those who haven't got friends. In addition, I'd like to say about people that are less mobile, or socially active than they are used to. I mean a disability which limits their ability to move.
