Internet Addiction

For my last free post, I chose a very interesting article about the effects the internet has on many people, and how it can disrupt their daily life. Before reading this article I think I may have been very naive about the fact that internet addiction really exists. For some people, hours upon hours of daily internet surfing are not out of the norm. Furthermore, a person suffering from internet addiction will experience symptoms like depression, anger, or sadness if the use of the internet is not available. Another branch of internet addiction is a result from online gaming, which can become a very dangerous addiction regarding one's health. One very positive thing regarding computer addiction is that it can be cured with therapy.
