Internet Addiction
The article “Internet Addiction”: Too much time online discusses internet addiction and the teens that are addicted. I personally believe that teenagers spend too much time online. The teens today spend too much time online playing games, watching videos, or a social networking site. They get less sleep and less time to do other chores such as homework, dishes, or even spending time with family. The time being spent online is increasing and teens have been losing interest in doing other things. They would rather stay online than go outside. They are getting less exercise and sleep. It’s affecting their health and education too. Sometimes internet usage spikes up but it’s because of homework, a new game, or a new boyfriend or girlfriend, these are commonly thought to be internet overuse. Actual signs of internet overuse are, the teen will get angry and violent is their computer time is interrupted. They will seem bored when they don’t have their internet and will keep waiting until they do. Other signs are if they lose track of time, can’t stop playing, constantly lies about that time spent online, or argues for more time. Teens today are using the internet more and more often. There are many consequences to this and could affect them physically and mentally in the future.
