Net Addiction
A lot of people enjoy surfing Net when they look for interesting Web sites and chat with people all over the world. Until some people spend such many hours online, so that they are Internet addicts. Even though average person spend about eight to twelve hours per week, an addict spends eight to twelve per one day online. As addicts spend so much time interacting with the computer, so that their lives are negative affected. They become social recluses, as they stop going out and talking to people face-to face. *They avoid real –life social situations, preferring instead to be in a dimly lit room with only the growing screen to light up their lives.
Internet addiction affects not only the addicts themselves b nut also the people around them. Foe example, John;[‘s marriage to Marta broke up until he insisted on spending so many hours on the Net. As soon as he arrived home from work he was at his computer. While he finished dinner, he would disappear into his computer room again. He paid so little attention to her, that she finally divorced him.
Since college students are especial technologically skilled they can easily become nonstop Net-surfers. Most colleges provide computers at several locations around campus , so that students can use them at any time day or night. As a result, students can spend too much surfing the Net instead of “surfing” their textbooks. Last semester, nine freshmen at Berkshire College flunked out. Although they become Internet addicts. In short, even though the Internet is an excellent source of information and entertainment, but we must not let it take over our lives.
