Internet and Other Addictions
The Internet and Other Addictions
Before reading the first unit, The internet and other addictions, I hadn't think about internet use as an addiction, I knew there are many people who make an excessive use of the internet; however, that thought was never in my mind. I think this topic is very important to make us conscious of this problem, in order to avoid getting addicted to this use.
After reading the magazine article about Bill, I realized that as Bill, I know some people who are addicted to the net, they are always surfing on the web, also they spend the whole day on social medias like Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc. Sometimes they do not have anything to do on the computer and they are still there, doing whatever thing on the net. In my opinion, people who have this addiction need to recognize that they have it first, then they should look for help either going to support groups or taking some kind of therapy, also making a big effort to stop spending much time on the net.
In my personal experience, I am a person who use the internet a lot sometimes, if I am on vacation or free at home. I like to spend time on social medias, but as I am a busy person who always have things to do, I do not spend many hours on the web. I can definitely say that I am not addicted to the internet.
To conclude, I think that internet addiction is something that is going out of control, since many people who have it are not aware of this problem, and for so they do not look for any help to overcome that addiction. I personally do not make an excessive use of the internet, however, I am a person who does not imagine her life without it.
