1.Dangerous Effect of Internet Addiction

Internet addiction, also known as internet addictiondisorder, is a growing phenomenon that
draws more users as new advancements in communications technology become available. Like
most other addictions, the dangerous effects of internet addiction take the form of undesirable
changes in a persons life.People who spend hours on end on the Internet eventually start to see
its effects in their lives. The effects of internet addiction gradually minimize the people, activities
and pursuits that occupied a persons time before the Internet became an issue. The effects of
internet addiction can also cause real damage to a persons mental and physical health.

2.Self-Help
Develop goals for going online. You can avoid site surfing and losing track of time by setting a
specific goal for each on-line session. For instance, if you need to do web research for a class, set
the goal of going directly to the academic site so that you can accomplish your research first.
Increase your awareness about your time online. On the Internet, you can easily lose track of
time until several hours have passed! To stay aware of your Internet use and make changes:
Create a log of how much time you are spending on gaming, email, social networking,
newsgroups, the Web, and other Internet applications.
Decide how long you plan to be online each session and set a timer when you go online.
Schedule your time online like you would for other daily activities such as studying, eating,
study groups, or class.
Computer software products are also available to help limit internet sessions.
Consider limiting access to the Internet.
Study in a place without access to the Internet
Turn off automatic alerts (i.e., that you've received a new message or that new posts have been
made to a favorite site or newsgroup), as these can pull your attention away from what you are
doing.
Set your home page to something academic instead of a site that is distracting to you.
Check out your thoughts and beliefs about the Internet. Your thoughts and beliefs about the
importance of the Internet can contribute to your online use patterns. You may rationalize your
use by saying, "I have to check my email, I may have a new message." Challenge this thought.

Then you can evaluate whether or not you really need to check your email again, especially if
checking your email might lead you away from focusing on the material for a test the next day.
Evaluate your own triggers. Are there times or situations that make you more likely to have
problematic Internet use? Is it when you are feeling bored, lonely, depressed, or anxious?
Consider what the Internet might be replacing in your life. Problematic Internet use may occur
when people are trying to escape something in their world, and the feelings of confidence, relief,
or excitement that come from going online may reinforce use of the Internet to escape. Figuring
out when you are triggered, and what feelings arise, can help you make changes such as picking
an alternative activity.
Consider alternatives. When you are trying to change a behavior, you need to have alternatives
when you feel like engaging in that behavior again. For example, instead of going online, you
can hang out with or call friends, engage in physical activity, join a student organization or enjoy
a hobby.

3.Tapering Your Time
Since addiction to Internet takes time away from other more healthy activities, the overall goal is
to gradually replace this time with other pursuits. Having a plan that lists specific goals, such as
spending more time with friends, and sets time limits for internet activities is a good start.
By altering your routine or usage patterns on a regular basis you can break an ongoing addiction
to Internet. This entails keeping track of time spent online as well as identifying known problem
areas. Setting time limits and taking frequent breaks can help with tapering down the amount you
spend online. In cases where online usage tends to take place at a specific time of day, such as
afternoons switch this to time evenings as a way to break the pattern. This can help break the
hold an addiction to Internet has on your daily life.

4.Computer/Internet Addiction Symptoms, Causes and Effects
An Internet or computer addiction is the excessive use of the former or the latter. The latest
edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) actually includes
it as a disorder that needs further study and research. In a publication on the National Center for
Biotechnology Information website, the study, which was conducted by the Department of Adult
Psychiatry in the Poland Medical University, showed that Internet addiction was seen to be quite
popular and common among young people, especially those who were only children. In fact,
every fourth child is addicted to the Internet. This is an alarming statistic that needs to be
addressed as soon as possible.

5.What are the signs of internet addiction?
1.Using the internet as a way to escape reality and relieve feelings of depression, anxiety and
hopelessness or creating make-believe personas to build yourself up.
2.Being online longer than intended even when time trying to reduce internet use.
3.Lying about internet use to friends and family to conceal how much youre really online.
4.Risking employment, relationships or education opportunities because of internet use.
5.Not being able to stop even after multiple attempts.
6.Preoccupation with the internet. Losing focus on actual responsibilities.
http://www.addictions.com/internet/am-i-addicted-to-the-internet/
7. General warning signs of smartphone addiction
Trouble completing tasks at work or home. Do you find laundry piling up and little food in the
house for dinner because youve been busy chatting online, texting, or playing video games?
Perhaps you find yourself working late more often because you cant complete your work on
time.
Isolation from family and friends. Is your social life suffering because of all the time you spend
on your phone or other device? If youre in a meeting or chatting with friends, do you lose track
of whats being said because youre checking messages or updates on your phone? Have friends
and family expressed concern about the amount of time you spend on your phone? Do you feel
like no one in your real lifeeven your spouseunderstands you like your online friends?
Concealing your smartphone use. Do you sneak off to a quiet place to use your smartphone? Do
you hide your smartphone use or lie to your boss and family about the amount of time you spend
online? Do you get irritated or cranky if your online time is interrupted?
Have a fear of missing out. Do you hate to feel out of the loop or think youre missing out on
important news or information if you dont check you phone regularly? Do you need to
compulsively check social media because youre anxious that others are having a better time,
making more money, or leading a more exciting life than you? Do you get up at night to check
your phone?
Feeling of dread, anxiety or panic if you leave your smartphone at home, the battery runs down
or the operating system crashes. Or you feel a phantom vibrationyou feel your phone vibrating
but when you check, there are no new messages or updates.

7.Damaged Relationships
When someone is enmeshed in online activities, theyre for most part oblivious to any changes or
effects of internet addiction. From the outside looking in, these changes become more and more
apparent to friends and loved ones. Certain types of internet addiction in particular, such as
cyber-porn, cyber-relationships and online gambling pose direct threats to the stability in a home
and/or marriage.
Other types of online activity, such as continuous web surfing may not pose a direct threat to
close relationships but can still cause damage. In effect, the avid online user has essentially
dropped-out of interactions with others.
Dangerous effects of internet addiction can also take the form of replacing face-to-face
interaction time with emails and texting. Ultimately, the loss of significant relationships in a
persons life amounts to a loss of self-identity and connection with life.
http://www.addictions.com/internet/dangerous-effects-internet-addiction/
8.How to help someone with problematic Internet use
Talk privately with that person about the negative impact of his/her Internet use, including any
negative effect on your relationship.
Listen nonjudgmentally and with an open mind. Problematic Internet use can cause a person to
feel ashamed, and it may be difficult for him/her to discuss this problem.
Discuss options and ask how you can be helpful.
Provide information about helpful resources

9.Short-Term and Long-Term Effects of an Online Addiction
The short-term effects of an online addiction include unfinished tasks, forgotten responsibilities
and weight gain. Long-term effects are seen more in the physical symptoms such as backache,
neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and vision problems from staring at the screen. It can also
lead to bankruptcy, especially if the time spent online is focused on shopping, gambling and
gaming.
According to Oberlin College of Computer Science, aside from being dependent on the Internet,
addicts may develop technostress wherein they internalize how a computer works, such as
accelerated time and perfect results. It can also cause social withdrawal, feeling more at ease
interacting with people online rather than in person.

10.Am I Addicted to the Internet?

We all enjoy the using the internet. Its a fantastic tool that allows us to find needed information
in seconds and helps us to keep in contact with our friends and loved ones. We use it daily for
our jobs, to socialize with our friends, for education purposes and shopping. We use it to find
about important breaking news and even celebrity updates. So how do you know when too much
is too much? According to NCBI you may be addicted to the internet if you feel stressed about
not being able to access the internet or are often thinking of the last time you were online or
anxiously awaiting your next visit.

11.Overcoming Addiction to Internet
As engaging as sites like Facebook and Twitter can be, spending hours on end at a fairly nonproductive pursuit calls to question the motivations behind it. Theres always a point where
casual fun can become an obsessive behavior thats not so easy to stop. When it comes to
interacting with people online as opposed to face-to-face exchanges, feeling more comfortable
online may be a warning sign. Overcoming addiction to Internet, like any other addiction,
requires will, effort and forethought, but it can be done.
http://www.addictions.com/internet/overcoming-addiction-internet/
12. Internet Addiction & Health Effects
The Internet has become an integral part of many people's work and personal lives. The number
of people online daily has nearly doubled over the past decade, according to research conducted
by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. While internet addiction as a specific disorder
was being debated for inclusion in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as of 2010, treatment centers already exist throughout the
U.S. and abroad, including China, Taiwan and Korea.
Physical Effects
Internet overuse can lead to sedentary lifestyles, weight gain and a decline in physical fitness.
Other symptoms can include carpal tunnel syndrome, dry eyes, migraine headaches, a decline in
personal hygiene and back aches, according to Maressa Hecht, founder of Computer Addiction
Services and a member of the Harvard Medical School.

13. Emotional Symptoms of Online Addiction
The following symptoms are typical of online addicts:

Feelings of guilt
Anxiety
Depression
Dishonesty
Euphoric feelings when in front of the computer
Unable to keep schedules
No sense of time
Isolation
Defensiveness
Avoiding doing work
Agitation

14. Internet addiction and problematic Internet use: A systematic review of clinical
research
METHODS: Over the last 15 years, the number of Internet users has increased by 1000%, and at
the same time, research on addictive Internet use has proliferated. Internet addiction has not yet
been understood very well, and research on its etiology and natural history is still in its infancy.
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association included Internet Gaming Disorder in the
appendix of the updated version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) as condition that requires further research prior to official inclusion in the main manual,
with important repercussions for research and treatment. To date, reviews have focused on
clinical and treatment studies of Internet addiction and Internet Gaming Disorder. This arguably
limits the analysis to a specific diagnosis of a potential disorder that has not yet been officially
recognised in the Western world, rather than a comprehensive and inclusive investigation of
Internet-use related addictions (including problematic Internet use) more generally.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4804263/
15. Is internet addiction real?
Internet addiction is defined as Internet use of more than thirty-eight hours per week. It is a
compulsive control disorder similar to pathological gambling. When a person has a gambling
problem they simply cannot stop thinking about placing their next bet. Same thing goes with

some internet users. They are always looking to get their next fix of internet use. Sometimes
the addiction is actually something else and the internet just facilitates it such as gambling or
sex addictions. This is considered a sub category of the persons true addiction. You may be
addicted to online poker games, shopping or pornography. The internet is merely a conduit for
the real problem. If someone has a drug addiction they must go through a drug dealer to obtain
their drug of choice but you wouldnt consider them to be addicted to the drug dealer.
http://www.addictions.com/internet/am-i-addicted-to-the-internet/
16. Internet
It has been established that children who occupy most of their time on the Internet, show a weird
kind of behavior which is marked by an urge to be on the Internet all the time, so much that the
child may ignore all activities and become dipped in the virtual world.Surveys conducted over
the years have found that most people who suffer from Internet addiction disorder are young
adults, who easily fall into the lure of exploring everything that is available on the
Internet.According to a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 95 percent of
teens ages 12-17 use the Internet, and 81 percent of them use social networks.As of 2012, about
94 percent of teens who use social networks have a Facebook profile, and their average number
of Facebook friends is about 425. Twitter is the second and third most used social networks, with
26 percent and 11 percent of teenage users respectively.

17. Too much internet use 'can damage teenagers' brains'
Excessive internet use may cause parts of teenagers brains to waste away, a study reveals.
Scientists discovered signs of atrophy of grey matter in the brains of heavy internet users that
grew worse over time.
This could affect their concentration and memory, as well as their ability to make decisions and
set goals. It could also reduce their inhibitions and lead to inappropriate behaviour.
Researchers took MRI brain scans from 18 university students, aged 19, who spent eight to 13
hours a day playing games online, six days a week.
The students were classified as internet addicts after answering eight questions, including
whether they had tried to give up using computers and whether they had lied to family members
about the amount of time they spent online.

18. Internet Addiction and Antisocial Internet Behavior of Adolescents

Internet addiction and the moral implication of antisocial Internet behavior will be investigated
in this paper. More and more people use the Internet in their daily life. Unfortunately the
percentage of people who use the internet excessively also increases. The concept of Internet
addiction or pathological use of Internet is discussed in detail, and the characteristics of Internet
addicts are also delineated. The social (especially the antisocial) use of Internet is discussed. It is
argued that the behavior of Internet use is similar to daily life social behavior. In other words,
Internet behavior is a kind of social behavior. Kohlberg's theory of moral development is
employed to delineate the moral reasoning of the antisocial Internet behavior. The following
behaviors are regarded as antisocial Internet behavior: (1) the use of Internet to carry out illegal
activities such as selling faked products or offensive pornographic materials, (2) the use of
Internet to bully others (i.e., cyberbullying) such as distributing libelous statements against a
certain person, (3) the use of Internet to cheat others, and (4) the use of Internet to do illegal
gambling. The characteristics of the moral stages that are associated with these antisocial Internet
behaviors are investigated in detail.

19. Influence of internet on teenagers academic achievement
Modern teenagers of the 21-st century know everything about high technology that surrenders us,
it is much easier for them to surf the internet to get information they want to know. Study in
other countries, like Thailand, China, South Korea and others show that majority of young
learners overuse internet and it leads to internet abuse and has an effect on teenagers academic
achievement [1, 12 p; 2, 25 p; 3, 37 p]. Researchers have not investigated yet to what extent
internet influences Kazakhstani schoolchildren. That is why there is a need of carrying out a
research in this field to analyze the current situation in Kazakhstan and define whether the
internet is a hindrance to teenagers academic achievement. By academic achievement
or(academic) performanceis meant the outcome ofeducation the extent to which a student,
teacher or institution has achieved their educational goals. For the purpose of this research study,
academic achievement refers to GPA (Grade Point Average) as it is essential to explore whether
there is a correlation between internet use and teenagers average school GPA.

20. Mobile phone overuse
Mobile phone overuse (or problem mobile phone use) is a dependence syndrome seen among
certain mobile phone users. Some mobile phone users exhibit problematic behaviors related to
substance use disorders. These behaviors can include preoccupation with mobile communication,
excessive money or time spent on mobile phones, use of mobile phones in socially or physically
inappropriate situations such as driving an automobile. Increased use can also lead to increased
time on mobile communication, adverse effects on relationships, and anxiety if separated from a
mobile phone or sufficient signal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_overuse
21. Internet addiction disorder
Internet addiction disorder (IAD), now more commonly called problematic Internet use (PIU),[1]
compulsive Internet use (CIU),[2] Internet overuse, problematic computer use, or pathological
computer use, refers to excessive computer use which interferes with daily life.[3]
IAD was originally proposed as a disorder in a satirical hoax by Ivan Goldberg, M.D., in 1995,
[4] although some later researchers have taken his essay seriously. He took pathological
gambling, as diagnosed by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV),
as his model for the description of IAD.[5] IAD receives coverage in the press, and the possible
future classification of it as a psychological disorder continues to be debated and researched in
the psychiatric community.[6] A systematic review of PIU literature identified the lack of
standardization in the concept as a major impediment to advancing this area of study.[7]
Other habits such as reading, playing computer games, or watching very large numbers of
Internet videos, such as those on YouTube, are troubling only to the extent that these activities
interfere with normal life.[citation needed] IAD is often divided into subtypes by activity, such as
gaming; online social networking;[8] blogging; email; excessive, overwhelming, or inappropriate
Internet pornography use;[9] or Internet shopping (shopping addiction).[10] Opponents note that
compulsive behaviors may not necessarily be addictive.[11]

Internet addiction is a subset of a broader "technology addiction." Widespread obsession with

technology goes back at least to radio in the 1930s and television in the 1960s, but it has
exploded in importance during the digital age.[12] A study published in the journal
Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking (2014) suggests that prevalence of Internet
addiction varies considerably among countries and is inversely related to quality of life.[13]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_addiction_disorder
22. Adolescent Internet addiction
Paralleling the rapid growth in internet access is a rise in internet addiction, especially among
adolescents, gaining increased attention from the popular media, government authorities, and
researchers [1]. Internet addiction is characterized by a maladaptive pattern of internet use
leadingto clinically significant impairmentor distress [2].
Internet addiction may interfere with peoples daily lives, and had short and long-term effects on
their social, psychological and physical well-being. According to previous studies, internet
addiction was associated with obsessive-compulsive and depressive disorders, attention-deficit

hyperactivity disorder, hostility/ aggressive behaviors, impaired executive control ability, and
multiple structural changes in the brain [3, 4, 5, 6].
However, there is currently no standardized definition or diagnosis criteria for internet addiction.
Based on empirical diagnostic interviews and epidemiological studies, Young and Ko et al. [2, 4,
6] proposed their diagnostic criteria for Internet addiction in which withdrawal, poor planning
abilities, tolerance, preoccupation, impairment of control, and excessive online time were
defined as core symptoms of Internet addiction. Until now, internet addiction is a proposed but
unproven disorder, and the upcoming inclusion of Internet addiction in the DSM-V as a disorder
in need of further study compels further investigation.
Adolescents (also called teen-ages) usually have poorer self-control, worse self-regulation, and
poorer cognition than college-age populations or adults, but they have the same desire for
independence as college-age populations or adults do. On the other hand, nowadays, computer
use by adolescents is encouraged, and in some courses is required. The use of the internet is
logical and common even outside the classroom. Most of the high school libraries, families, and
internet caf have internet access, and adolescents are easy to have access to the internet.

23. INTERNET HARMS TEENAGERS MORE THAN IT HELPS
Nobody can deny the important role of Internet in our everyday life. People of all ages are using
it to find information and entertainment. They also look for financial matters. Teens are no
exception. Obviously Internet is a valuable tool, but is somewhat misused by contemporary
society. The main group that has been affected the most by technology in modern time is
teenagers. Truly, the two main forms of technology affecting our teenagers are cell phones and
the Internet, which have brought main variations to their lifestyle.Since maximum teens have
access to the Internet, either at home, school, public library, or on their cell phone, parents should
be responsive of how its overuse or misuse can adversely affect their teen.The teenage period is
often characterized by unstable emotional state. During this period young people are shifting
from being a child to being an adult person. In addition, a lot of young people try to establish
their roles in the society, to understand their feelings and attitudes. Approximately 90 percent of
all young people are online. Teenagers are visiting the web sites of their favorite TV shows,
singers, bands, movies, video games, etc.Moreover, they are attracted to the commercial sites,
since the web sites are designed in bright colors to be appealing in order to attract teenagers and
involve them in interactive games.When teens spend numerous hours per day using the Internet,
they reduce the time they have to spend with family, friends, on school work and physical
activities.According to Larry D. Rosen, PhD, professor of psychology at California State
University:Young adults with a strong Facebook presence show signs of antisocial behaviors,
mania and aggressive tendencies. In addition, daily overuse of media and technology has a

negative effect on children and teens, making them more prone to anxiety, depression and other
psychological disorders.

24. Internet overuse and addiction
As part of modern day life, a significant amount of time is spent online. This involves both study
and work related activities and also social and entertainment spheres. Internet overuse refers to
excessive time spent online at the expense of other things. This could mean becoming too
involved in internet activities such as gaming or chat rooms at the expense of socialising or
studying. This may be one step toward Internet addiction, a disorder commonly linked to
depression, social anxiety and financial problems, according to the Centre for Net Addiction, a
web site that studies internet dependency and addiction. You can take an internet addiction test to
find out if you are overusing or even addicted to the internet.
http://services.unimelb.edu.au/counsel/resources/resources/psychological/internet_addiction
25. The symptoms of internet addiction
Increasing amounts of time spent online
When offline obsessing about online activity
Unsuccessful effort to control, cutback or stop internet use
Mood swings including feeling restless, irritable , anxious or depressed when offline or
attempting to cut down internet usage
Use of the Internet as a way to escape from problems, or day to day responsibilities
Significantly affecting or putting at risk relationships, studies and work because of Internet use.
http://services.unimelb.edu.au/counsel/resources/resources/psychological/internet_addiction
26. Effects of smartphone addiction
While heavy phone use can often be symptomatic of other underlying problemssuch as stress,
anxiety, depression, or lonelinessit can also exacerbate these problems. If you use your
smartphone as a security blanket to relieve feelings of anxiety, loneliness, or awkwardness in
social situations, for example, youll succeed only in cutting yourself off further from the people
around you. Staring at your phone will deny you the face-to-face interactions that can help to
meaningfully connect you to others, alleviate anxiety, and boost your mood. In other words, the
remedy youre choosing for your anxiety (engaging with your smartphone), is actually making
your anxiety worse.
http://www.helpguide.org/articles/addiction/smartphone-and-internet-addiction.htm
27. How Common Is Internet Addiction?

Internet addiction hasn't been studied as much as other mental health conditions, so it's not
known exactly how many people have the disorder.But a study in The American Journal of Drug
and Alcohol Abuse found that as many as 8.2 percent of Americans may suffer from Internet
addiction. Other studies estimate that the disorder may affect more than 18 percent of collegeaged Internet users, according to Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide to Evaluation and
Treatment.
http://www.everydayhealth.com/internet-addiction/guide/
28. Associations between overuse of the internet and mental health in adolescents.
This study examined the factors influencing internet addiction levels and mental health in a
nationally-representative sample of 74,980 Korean middle- and high-school students who
completed the 2010 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. The prevalence rates of
potential internet addiction and internet addiction were 14.8% and 3%, respectively. The odds
ratios for potential internet addiction were higher in both boys and girls who reported suicidal
ideation, depressive mood, moderate or higher subjective stress, moderate or more happiness, or
ever having engaged in problematic substance use. Adolescents at high risk for internet addiction
had poor mental health outcomes. The findings indicate the need for measures to prevent and
manage internet addiction in adolescents that consider the severity of factors related to internet
addiction.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23991723
29. What Is Internet Addiction?
Internet addiction is a psychological disorder that causes people to spend so much time on a
computer that it affects their health, job, finances, or relationships.
It's a relatively new condition that's not listed in the American Psychiatric Association's
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).Nonetheless,
mental health experts believe that Internet addiction also called Internet addiction disorder, or
IAD can have the same troubling effects as substance abuse or gambling addiction.
http://www.everydayhealth.com/internet-addiction/guide/
30. Smartphone Addiction
While a smartphone, tablet, or computer can be a hugely productive tool, compulsive use of
these devices can interfere with your daily life, work, and relationships. When you spend more
time on social media or playing games than you do interacting with real people, or you cant stop
yourself from repeatedly checking texts, emails, news feeds, websites, or appseven when it has
negative consequences in your lifeit may be time to reassess your technology use.By learning
about the signs and symptoms of smartphone and Internet addiction and the ways to break free of
the habit, you can better balance your life, online and off.
