Internet Addiction - More Powerful Than Drugs

Internet Addiction

Young people are spending much more time infront of the computer screen, than outside.

Younsters prefer to stay at home and browse the Internet. They don't anymore like to go out and take a walk in the park or play some sport.

Is Internet becoming more powerful addiction than the drugs?

Look at the answers in the article - they're based on statistical researches and young people's opinion.

The Effects of Internet Addiction

From 2002 until today the number of young people, using drug and tobacco products is reducing, the expense of increasing addiction to the Internet and electronic games, a survey of Brussels Free University. 

For the past nine years, declining by six per cent of young people who smoke every day - from 18,7 percent to 12,7 percent. In 2002, eight out of every 100 youths said they smoked marijuana at least once a week and recently gave a similar response to 4,9 per cent of respondents. When ecstasy users also experience a change - from 5,3% nine years ago to 2,7 percent last year. 

According to sociologist Damien Fravres, these data can be explained by increased parental control over young people who have come out less at night. So basically they are spending more time in their rooms, sitting at the computer. The survey reported that while in 2002 only seven percent of young people said they spend at least four hours daily in front of the computer, the latest data show an increase of nearly double those responses - 13%. 

The survey was conducted among 12 000 young people aged between 12 and 20 years.

Are We Being Held in Chains by the Internet?

Yes, I think that computers and Internet are very useful. But we should not overdo anything.

It's true that most of the youths are spending they time in Internet social network, than going outside with friends and talk face to face.
