Internet addiction article
The article “internet addiction: too much time online” discusses internet addiction, symptoms of internet addiction and how to tell if someone you know may have an internet addiction.
I personally believe that teenagers nowadays spend way too much time online.
Some people are so desperate to get their internet fix that they will even pull their phones out in the middle of class at school and go on facebook to get it.
One of the main factors in this problem is the fact that most teenagers now own internet connected smartphones.
These phones allow them to be connected anytime, anywhere. Even then, whenever they are at home, they are on their computers watching videos on youtube, checking their tweets and updating their facebook until they are so exhausted that their bodies automatically shut off.
Another main contributer to this problem is internet based multiplayer games.
People get addicted to playing these games and are always online to play them whenever they can.
The thing is, is that there is just too much stuff to do online, too many ways to be connected, and that’s what sucks people in.
