Before & After
What I know about the internet is that it is very addictive and many people spend most of their hours of the day on it, whether it is chatting online or doing their homework, they are constantly on it. What I would like to know is how being an internet addiction is linked to ADHD because of what I am aware, people who have ADHD is a disorder that many people catch at a young age. What I learned is that kids with depression, social phobia or even hostile tend to be the ones who are internet addicts. The male generations are at a higher risk of internet addiction than girls, and those who used the Internet for more than 20 hours a week, every day, or for online gaming, are at higher risk as well. It was also said that kids with depression, anger issues, or social problems also turn to the internet as a form of therapy. Internet addiction is not a serious effect and therefore there isn’t a necessary action to take upon kids. The only suggestion is that parents try to control the amount of time and the type of internet kids use such as gaming, etc. What I would like to know is how bad can the internet addiction get, if everything we do and use has some type of access to it and modern technology advance as the internet does?
