ADDICTION Computer addiction is defined as
a strong involvement to the
computer which interferes with
daily life and the time spent
on the computer.

Computer addiction can have a number of physical, social, and


psychological effects on a person and it is to be taken as seriously as
any other addiction that a person is battling. These days, many
people spend a large portion of their time on the Internet, whether
it's for work, social interaction, gathering information, or
entertainment.

ISOLATION
A person addicted to the Internet will spend most of
his/her time alone, locked in a room, with only his/her
computer for company. This kind of isolation can lead
to a lack of social life, and when he/she does venture
outside, he/she might find his social skills have
suffered.

POOR HEALTH
Some health issues suffered by Internet addicts are
bad eyesight, which is caused by spending too much
time squinting at the screen; poor posture and
constant computer use can lead to bad back and
carpal tunnel syndrome. Because an Internet
addiction lowers the chance of exercise, and those
with an addiction might no longer take the time to
prepare healthy meals, obesity is also a risk.

LIFE INTERFERENCE
Some Internet addicts risk losing their jobs or failing
classes because they spend so much time online and
are often late or absent. An Internet addict might also
find his/her personal relationships suffer under the
weight of so much time spent online rather than with
the people he's/she's close to.

WITHDRAWALS AND
AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR
Internet addicts can be aggressive when disturbed or
interrupted while on the Internet. He/she might snap
at those who try to get his/her attention or grow
irritated when he/she has his/her Internet habits
questioned. If an Internet addict isn't online, his/her
withdrawals can fray his/her temper and make
him/her aggressive.
