Discussion
We are already in an era where
there is technology everywhere,
these technologies help us in
many different ways in our daily
lives, however there are also
negative impacts of its improper
use.
So. The development of
technology and internet have
made us and children much more
vulnerable to its addictive nature.
It is crucial to control our usage
and understand what other
precautions we can take to protect
ourselves from internet and
technology addiction.
What Is Technology Addiction?
We can define technology
addiction as a kind of impulse
control disorder in which the
person is exposed to the harmful
effects of technology as a result of
excessive use of computers, the
internet, video games, and mobile
devices. It is also an umbrella
term for game addiction,
computer addiction, and internet
addiction.
What Is Internet Addiction?
We can define the term internet
addiction as another umbrella
term as well. It covers a range of
behaviors and impulse-control
problems involving the internet,
personal computers, and mobile
technology. It can be in the form
of a gaming disorder, social
media addiction, screen addiction,
and so on.
Types of Internets and
Technology Addiction
Game Addiction Gaming
disorders are the only addictions
that have been diagnosed and
recognized by the WHO. It is one
of the most common among
children.
Shopping Addiction Having
thousands of options at your
fingertips may be life-saving, but
it makes it easier for you to
become a shopaholic who is a
person that can’t control his/her
shopping impulses. In other
words, they are addicted to
shopping.
Nomophobia or phone addiction
is another dependency more
common among children and
teenagers.
Footage - Content Consumption
Addiction Do you feel the urge to
constantly read the news or check
the weather forecast for a country
that you have never heard of? The
internet can be a useful resource
unless you develop an internet
addiction and lose control.
Social Media Addiction. Social
media is very popular among
teens, which makes social media
addiction an even more dangerous
threat.
The above dependencies do not
only cause harm when they
become an addiction. They also
have an overall negative impact
on our lives. For instance, even if
you are not addicted to social
media, your efforts to respond
quickly to messages coming from
your social media accounts can
reduce your productivity. Or, if
you succumb to your impulses
while you're driving, it can have
terrible consequences.
The persistent drive to stay online
that interferes with normal life
and might harm relationships is
referred to as internet addiction, it
has a potential to harm personal
connections as well as have
negative impact on one’s life. The
development of social skills may
also be harmed by spending hours
on the internet.
