Addiction to Computer and internet.

Computer and internet offer so many facilities to the users. But at the same time, there grows a sort of addiction to its overuse in the user which I think is not justified at all and is very bad. What is your opinion?

Overuse any things are not good. I only use computer for my works at company but I feel hurt my back and my eyes are weak more. We shouldn't overuse any things!

I agree with you.. overuse is bad.. all things have its own downside and upside.. Like internet.. you can learn a lot of things.. both good and bad.. internet is a necessity these days.. but its somewhat scary in someway..

Computers make a big part of our life. But we have to remember that it is not our life. We use computers and the internet to make our lives better, and not to make it worse. We must keep our priorities in life in mind.

I think that it is not only the computer and internet that offers a way that people can become addicted, there are a lot of other things in the world that will cause addiction in people. I think at times that I personally border on being addicted to the internet. However, I know that I am not fully addicted to the internet because I am able to power down from the computer for a day if I need to. However, I do tend to spend a lot of time on the internet because of the fact that I really don't have anything better to do.

Yes computers and the internet are addictive, look, I'm on it right now! LOL. When you get involved in something on the computer you loose all track of time and at least for me, I don't want to be disturbed. It is an addiction.

SOme do get addicted. Some use it to its finest realm. I use it far more than I should. I write, do research, play games, etc. But I think that since i am retired and writing is my calling then I am okay to use it as much as I do. I think that the only time it is a problem is when it hurts ones life and takes people away from their loved ones.

Absolutely a balance between life and computer usage is necessary. As for me I specifically earn through the internet with online networking contracting jobs so it is a must that my computer and internet connection is working properly because not having it work properly means I will not earn at all. My entire area was down for 9 days last month and I wanted to go nuts. Because it is how I pay the bills. But for those who use it for entertainment purposes it is important to not be so addicted because it consumes their life.

I agree to you. Nowadays, the children and the teenagers are lacking the outdoor activities. Most of their free time, they prefer to sit in the front of the computer to surf the net or to play the games. This might be the problem of the children when they are in these ages. As the guardians or the parents to them, we should properly set a daily program for them to revise their schoolwork, outdoor games, computer games and so on. Of course, we want our children to grow up healthily.
