Modernity has been enshrined in the web. It gives access to an immense amount of information and serves as a must-have tool for students.
Yet even excessive Internet use can be a nuisance. It can be destructive to your mental and physical wellbeing and can cause family life threatening infidelity.
The drug addiction.
Internet entertainments abound: there are internet games, social media, news websites, all offering consumers as many ways to break out of work with a game, a social post or a news story – a game on Facebook. Each account check is enough to divert people from work, and diminish their productivity.
Some users experience compulsive information-seeking as an outer manifestation of their existing obsessive-compulsive tendencies. They are totally Internet-centered and have to be online for longer and longer to feel satisfied; when their access is stopped they suffer withdrawal symptoms (anxiety and agitation).
Addicts to the Web are prone to physical symptoms such as muscle pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, sleep disturbances, blurred vision and excess weight/fat. Furthermore, they may suffer from psychological disorders like depression, lies, aggression and social alienation which have profound implications in their life. They might even lead to life-threatening complications.
Less Attention Span.
Research has documented a decline in human attention with time, due to the saturation of information and impulsive reactions. Students have a difficult time getting content out of their heads and into long-term memory when their phones are constantly interrupting them.
Age, nutrition, physical health and internet climate affect attention span. The brain is designed to seek out information and stimuli, even for the very long-term attentionally wired. Short attention spans also have a harder time reciting lectures and studying difficult textbooks and reconciling disparate concepts into coherent narratives – short attention spans can affect school performance and wellbeing, so to avoid this we encourage restful sleep and vigorous physical exercise to foster deep engagement with academic material.
Fraud is just the beginning.
Whether it is sexual or emotional infidelity, infidelity includes any action that disrupts the relationship. Each can corrode families to the point of divorce, and both are deeply depressing for families as they involve not just adults but children. And then there are psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety, that can accompany infidelity as well.
Emotional infidelity: the feeling of being with a non-current partner through social networking or the Internet. Cheating can cause so much harm because it kills and destroys families.
This can be due to poor coping mechanisms, the drive for intimacy, or need for more love. Other possibilities might include: craving sex/sex freedom/lack of commitment/evil eye/regardless of current relationship/ craving more sex & sexual freedom and also feeling lacking in commitment & evil eye. It was discovered that infidelity was related to anger & jealousy and is activated when relationships fail – this module is what causes jealousy to activate through our DNA!
Excessive Use:
Online addiction can make you less effective at work and school because you are missing deadlines or not being able to concentrate. It can also lead to problems at home like if you forget to take baths and brush their teeth. Pathological internet use was also related to higher levels of psychological distress and low self-esteem.
Internet addiction is very appealing as it provides constant stimulation. It’s especially tempting for a socially lonely or overworked individual who craves connection or validation through social online relationships and groups, but this same tool also offers potentially negative consequences such as cyberbullying or access to harmful content that cause emotional harm; internet addiction can be especially dangerous for teens, the vulnerable populations to its temptation.
