Unit 1. The Internet and Other Addictions.
Through my reading of the first unit of the book I learned too many things, between them are: the symptoms/ warning signs of internet addiction and it’s possible treatment, and I also learned the advantages and disadvantages of being expose to so much information theses days.
This topic was of very interest for the class because is something that almost everyone is relate to. Devices like cellphones, tablets, even watches have become an extension of our arm. Where you go you see people grabbing their phone and stick to the information they share and receive through it.
I remember a moment in class when we were talking about this topic and all of a sudden I phone rang in the middle of it. That’s was quite funny because was like an example of the topic.
In my personal opinion, I think that people that is addicted to the internet is because they have plenty of time to do whatever they want. In my case since I work full time and I have to study it is hard to get addicted to it. But I can say that I do use the internet when I needed to work, study, and chat with people.
Hello Omar!!
ResponderEliminarI agree with you when you say that people who spend so much time surfing on the web, it's because they have a lot of free time. I think that the busier you are the less you use the net. That's my case I surf the web a lot when I am on vacation, but when I have to study, go to class, work in my business, I do not have time for using the internet that much.
