Computer Addiction
Some people develop bad habits with their computer use that may cause significant problems in
their lives. The types of behavior and negative consequences are similar to those of known
addictive disorders, so the term computer or Internet addiction has come into use.
Definition Computer
Addiction
Internet addiction is an umbrella term that
refers to the compulsive need to spend a
great deal of time on the Internet, to the
point where relationships, work and health
are allowed to suffer. Medical opinion is
divided on whether Internet addiction exists
as a mental disorder in its own right
Prevalence Computer Addiction
77% of American adults go online every day.
43% go online several times a day. 26% are
online almost constantly. 8% go online once
a day.
Statistics on Internet Usage
For context, the projected world
population by 2030 is 8.5 billion.
Thus, 90% of the world’s population
is expected to be online by then.
This contrasts with 75% of the world
population projected to be online
by 2022.
Internet addiction
is when a person has a compulsive need to
spend a great deal of time on the Internet,
to the point where other areas of life (such
as relationships, work or health) are
allowed to suffer.
Social Media Addiction
is an unhealthy dependence on interactive
platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram. Like most dependencies, social
media addiction manifests as overuse and
difficulty in abstaining. Ironically, one
common effect of the problem is social
isolation.

be described as the excessive or
compulsive use of the computer, which
persists despite serious negative
consequences for personal, social, or
occupational function.

What Is Technology
Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to the
practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased,
to the change and manipulation of the human environment.
What is technology purpose
The purpose of technology is to meet a human need or solve a
human problem. Technology can help meet many types of human
needs, like needs of shelter, food, clothing, and communication.
Technology does not originate from the natural world and includes
methods or activities that people use to alter their environments.
Why technology is so important
Since machines are way faster than humans, certain tasks that may
require an incredible amount of manual work and attention to detail
can be easily accomplished with the help of technology. Technology
also ensures improved accuracy. Further, the use of technology in
certain areas can also help save significant costs.
How technology can change the world
It has provided us with much easier and faster ways to solve
urgent problems. The Information technology sector has fully
transformed human communication with the likes of instant
messaging, video conferencing and emails. Technology has helped
people to construct bridges to reduce the distance.
