Internet dependence

What are the most burning diseases of the modern age? The list could be long and unpleasant, but I would like to stop my attention on one of the social disease – internet dependence. The main symptoms of this disease are the following. A person spends more than 18 hours per day at a computer. It is difficult to him to be away of the internet and he feels constant desire to go online or can not stop the session, no matter how he wants to eat, drink, sleep. The internet visitors are aware of this peculiarity of theirs and joke asking the administrators and providers to close the internet channels in order to have an opportunity to sleep or eat in a correct way.
About ten percents of the world population are addicted to the internet. This number is progressive, of course. The scientists compare the internet addiction with the chemical processes in an organism during smoking or drug taking. Emotional and physical state of a person is changing rapidly. As I know, drug addiction is not caused from the very first test, but as for the internet addiction, it takes on special significance very quickly. Usually, surfing the internet, a person loses an opportunity to orient in the time. A person could start surfing the internet from the very morning and find himself at a computer in the dead of night. It turns to be a real surprise for a person, especially if he is trying it for the very first time. But the most terrible event is that a habit is cultivated. It is you to make a decision to fight or not to fight.
