Some psychologist say say addiction use of computer to surf the web, join social sites and chat rooms
for discussion, and play video games is real addictive. In recent years, people have started to use the
computer and the Internet like they used to watch TV. It is, in fact, very comfortable and relaxing just to
sit down and have a meet with somebody from Canada about hockey or lacrosse. If we are hungry, we
simply order a pizza through the Internet. While we are waiting for the food, we check our Facebook
messages, upload photos and change our profile pictures and even hooked a message on our friend's
Facebook walls.
So, we just don't have much time for communication with people anymore. Besides, there is so much
information available that when we start surfing the Internet, we spend a lot of time in front of the
screen. There are a lot of people who are leave on TV and watch it 5 to 7 hours a day, and I believe
using the computer is becoming an addiction, too.
