Internet addiction

The internet has forever changed the world in both positive and negative ways. It enables one to find information any time of the day as well as provides convenience with regard to such activities as paying bills. On the other hand, the accessibility of pornography and false information and the occurrence of pop-ups on the internet serve as negative effects.

The internet has every kind of information that you could possibly want; there is everything from simple guides to high level medical research information. Besides research information there is local and world news information. Young children can also benefit from the internet. Convenience has also been another benefit of this invention. You can pay your bills by the click of a button or even buy presents without even leaving the house.

Not everything that has resulted from the internet has been positive. Some negative things have also come along with it. One of the worst results from the internet is inappropriate content such as pornography. Another negative effect of the internet is that false information can also be found, which can lead to confusion. Frustration from advertising has also increased with the internet.

For many of us it is an indispensable tool for work, education, and communication. While time spent on the internet can be hugely productive, for some people compulsive internet use can interfere with daily life, work and relationships.

Many people turn to the internet in order to manage unpleasant feelings such as stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. When you have a bad day and are looking for a way to escape your problems or to quickly relieve stress or self-soothe, the internet can be an easily accessible outlet. But there should be an equilibrium factor while using the internet.
