Internet Addiction
Do you think that you are addicted to the internet? At what threshold does it start looking like addiction? I use the internet all the time for VoIP service conversations so my time online comes in around ten hours a day. America’s first hospital-based “internet addiction” rehab program opened over Labor Day weekend at Bradford Regional Medical Center in Pennsylvania,
and while that debut highlights the pervasiveness of the net in our
everyday lives, experts are still debating whether the lure of social
media or online gaming actually constitutes addiction. This is idea of a rehab is almost laughable because there are so many other variables that need to be considered before labeling someone with an internet addiction. If you really find that the internet, internet fax, and emails are interfering with your life, you should try taking small breaks where you are completely disconnected for a period of time. How attached are you to your phone services?
