Dead-eyed, with their faces encrusted in sores, these horrifying pictures show the devastating effects of methamphetamine abuse.
Pictured before the addiction took hold and then in the grip of dependence, the images are part of an American campaign to deter young people from getting hooked on the drugs.
Internet has opened up new frontiers of information and knowledge.
Those with the Aptitude can now get what they seek in their quest.
At the same time it also has noticeable disadvantages ,apart from browsing porn,is total reclusivity from other activities.
Browsing Social Network,people tend to forget that this can never replace person to person contact and being empathetic with others.
Emotions can never be shared effectively unless they are shared in person.
Over dependence might lead to Internet addiction, as in Mobile Addiction.
Some signs of Internet addiction are:
Internet addiction disorder (IAD), or, more broadly, Internet overuse, problematic computer use or pathological computer use, is excessive computer use that interferes with daily life.[1] These terms avoid the distracting and divisive term addiction and are not limited to any single cause.
Online activities which, if done in person, would normally be considered troublesome, such as compulsive gambling or shopping, are sometimes called net compulsions. Others, such as reading or playing computer games, are troubling only to the extent that these activities interfere with normal life. Supporters of disorder classification often divide IAD into subtypes by activity, such as excessive, overwhelming, or inappropriate pornography use,gaming, online social networking, blogging, email, or Internet shopping,Opponents note that compulsive behaviors may not themselves be addictive.
Start by listing the things you do online. Organize them according to importance. Probably the one at the top of your list is not that important but is the major cause of your addiction.
Now list the benefits you will get if you reduce the time you are on the Internet. These could be increasing productivity, better relationship with family and friends, or becoming healthier.
Set the limits. If you have household chores, tasks at work, or anything that you need to do, do them first, then allot time to spend online each day. Don’t forget to allot enough time to sleep as well.
Strictly follow the schedule. Make a punishment if you don’t follow it. It can be as severe as having your Internet connection at home cut off or not logging on the Internet for a day.
The use of the Internet is not really evil, but it can turn that way if its use is not kept in check. It surely is difficult to quit spending a lot of time on the Internet, that is why you must have other things to do like going out with friends, or engaging in a new sport. The Internet is not life.
