The internet is a tool for me , where we have access to a variety of information, is the perfect way to communicate while working.

In some cases the Internet can be dangerous to humans, as the way it is used, scientists and specialists have identified a number of activities that initiate this addiction.
The internet addiction is a category that groups together a number of related disorders, including:

1. - Compulsive online activities
2. - Cyber​​-sex addiction
3. - Addiction to cyber-romances
4. - Computer addiction

Addiction to online activities includes compulsive: auctions, web browsing, online gaming.

The obsession with programming, computer games and the compulsive pursuit of sex and dysfunctional relationships through the Internet, are part of this syndrome.

The abandonment of the family and / or social neglect of job duties, and the deterioration of mental and physical health as a result of the investment of energy and time spent on Internet addiction, are characteristic of this disorder.

The reasons that lead us to become dependent are varied and sometimes are not aware that they exist. Loneliness, insecurity, emotional problems, work, boredom, lack of other activities, mental disorders such as depression, neurosis complex or are just some of the many causes of addiction, not only the Internet but also to alcohol and  drugs .
