They started talking about computer addiction at the end of the 20th century. It was then that strangely dressed people began to appear in the offices of psychotherapists, hugging their PCs.
In the modern world, the situation is even more critical, the ubiquitous network simply pulls into its web. The chances of becoming an Internet addict are equal for children and adults, boys and girls, rich and not so. Nonaholism, Internet addiction, cyberdiction - these are all names for one very harmful habit. Doctors consider this addiction to be similar to alcohol or drug addiction.
As practice shows, virtual reality literally pulls into its networks, and this dependence is sometimes formed much faster than the need for smoking, alcohol or drugs. Scientists have proven that 6 months is enough for a soulless machine to completely enslave the human mind.
A person addicted to virtual life is often ready to give up many things in reality:
- communication with friends in real life becomes unnecessary, because on the network and without them there is someone to communicate with;
- work fades into the background, because shooters and adventure games are much more interesting than reports and meetings;
- often Internet addicts sacrifice a real family and children for the sake of virtual life, because it is not so interesting with them;
- eating is reduced to eating something a little needed, without leaving the computer;
- addicts have very little time to sleep, and the quality of sleep suffers greatly.
With such a rhythm of life, it will take very little time to cause a complete degradation of the personality, worsen the social status in society, and acquire various psychological problems. Irritability, withdrawal, inappropriate behavior - this is not a complete list of possible consequences. And physical health will not remain the same, because of such a lifestyle, the emergence or exacerbation of existing diseases is possible.
Important: you should not throw your computer out the window at the end of reading the article, just remember that, in addition to virtual, real life is in full swing around and that there are people nearby who are eagerly awaiting communication and attention.
