“Katie Couric talks about Internet addiction and how it is becoming a growing problem; it may affect as much as 10 percent of the population.” Quote from Youtube.
As Katie says internet addiction is getting to a serious problem, whether it is addiction to pornography or online games, the problem is that kids do not get enough sleep and dropping out of sports, and when they drop the sports and spend the whole day in front of the computer they do not focus on their homework as well. So internet addiction is a huge problem for the kids, but parents should be aware of the warning signs.
But some adults have an addiction to either gambling or pornography, which also can have really bad results.
“Internet addiction, whether it involves pornography, video games, chat rooms, shopping or gambling is an addiction like any other.”
Commentary and discussion:
My opinion is that no matter what your addiction is, you are always in control of it, in some way, I had a kind of addiction in some point of online games and in some point a smaller gambling problem, but I always felt that I was in control of it, and I was. When I said to myself it have to stop at this very moment, I stopped it, now I still play some online poker and I spend a little time on an online game, but it is not a problem for me now as it was before, and I believe that everyone out there who have some sort of problem with addiction, they can control it as I could. Whether it is internet addiction or it drug abuse, you can always control it if you want to. If you cannot it is a mental thing that is what I believe.
