The internet addiction

The technology has developed a lot today. It serves to make life easier in many ways. But not everyone knows how to use it; For that reason we can see that there is people who spend more so much time in unimportant things, then they become  addicted to the internet.
The internet is quite importante, while, at the same time, we should be carefull too.

WISHES

I wish the goverment could lower the electric-rate.

I wish I studied full time as new students.

I wish the public transportation car were in better condition.

I wish I had permanent water as promised by the goveerment.

I wish I could have better services in public hospitals.

Internet and other addictions

In recent times are young people become addicted to many things, and one that is very famous in this time, is the technology as well as surf the Internet, expensive cellphone among other things.

If we use the technology for productive and beneficial for all things, no problem, but we use it, for things that have no benefit, only used by fads, or to say that we have it, even if there are people who give good use.

There are many people who spend their most time connected to the internet looking for things, to seek, to spend time stuck in the internet, not to learn or to find important things that can help us in our lives and to help those who are our around.

WISH

Examples:
“I wish I lived in Spain” – Right now this person does not live in Spain but would like to in the present.
“He wishes he had a Lambourghini” – Right now this person does not have a Lambourghini but want one in the present.
“They wish it was June” – Right now it’s May and they still have to wait a month to go on holiday in the future.

Hello

In Dominican Republic there are problems that could be solved,for example; the poor children on the street. I wish the church could have a big house with school and enough food for them.

The Internet in our social life

The problem is not the Internet but the way we use it. The technology make our life easier, example of this is the Internet where we can find almost every information that we need as soon as we needed, however the excessive use of this tool also may cause problem in our social life if we just stay in front of a pc, cellphone or any technological device and don't pay attention to the people around us.

The Internet and Other Addictions

Maybe you do not realize that someone can be addict to the internet as to drugs and alcohol, but let me tell you that nowadays we have  this particular addiction. which is increasing every day at everywhere. I do not tell you that the internet is bad, even the drugs are not bad. I want to refer to the way are this things used, because this can determinate if the way you are using is bad or good. I mean that the purpose to the internet is good, for example get information, have communication and so on, but when it is used to other purposes  like to scape of problems this could  turn in  an addition, because the way is using is wrong. Problems never finish, so you will be on internet all the time without get a solution. So be carefully of the way you are using the internet, alcohol, cell phone, and other stuff.

The internet and other Addictions

In these times internet has overwhelmed the society, has become addicted to it and some people can't control it.

when a person is addicted to the internet feels the need of being in front of the computer all day and it becomes antisocial and an isolated person.

In my opinion an addiction is an addiction no matter what, but I think that internet addiction is a little bit more easy to get over.

So, please, let's be more social in person, let's get our nouses out of the phones and computers and let's start being more happy living the real life.


Regards,
Diana Joa Salazar

Hello

Hello teacher I couldn`t come to the class today because I`am sick.

TOPIC The  Internet and Other  Addictions is very important because now a days people spend much time surfing on the Internet  and they do not realize that becoming an addiction that as dangerous as drugs.

Internet addiction

Effects of internet addiction:
Computer or Internet Addiction is a growing problem and is increasing with time, as now increasing number of people have access to computer and internet. The problem is more pronounced among children and teens.
 Excessive use of computer and internet is often results in

The first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is go on their smartphone or computer for at least of half an hour. They arrive at home and spend most of the day on the computer surfing the web into the early hours of the morning.
They go on the same websites over and over again, just waiting for new content show up.
Internet addition results in personal, family, academic, financial, and occupational problems that are characteristic of others addictions. Impairments of real life relationships are disrupted as a result of excessive use of the internet.

Internet: A serious addiction?

      A person who spends more than eight hours a day on the Internet may be considered as an Internet addicts. I believe people who are addicted to Internet have a serious problem just like other human additions. Internet addiction can cause not only behavior problems but also physical damage. According to Institute for Addiction Recovery Internet addiction is described as an impulse control disorder, which does not involve use of intoxicating drug and is very similar to pathological gambling. Even though Internet addiction is not a toxic it may cause similar psychological effects like drug addiction. Here are some effects that Internet addiction can cause:

·        * No control on their behavior to do other activities

·         *Spend more time alone lack of socializing face to face

·         *Spend too much time on the Internet and not doing other necessary things like going to the movies, going to a restaurant, sharing with family, etcetera

·         *If quitting this addiction some people can feel anger, depression, anxiety, fear, irritability, sadness, loneliness, and other symptoms

This addiction is a serious problem that should be treated as other serious addictions. For these important reasons I think using Internet too much can be a very serious addiction.

Do you think the Internet is a positive or negative influence?

     Many people say that the Internet is a negative influence. But the way I see it, the Internet is a positive influence because many things can be done easier and in a shorter time. You can also find the information you want in different languages. Moreover, you can have the opportunity of learning about the topic you would like to learn, such as languages, sports, cooking, gardening, painting, and so on. Therefore, you have a big world in your hands. That`s why I consider the Internet a positive influence. The only thing you need to keep in mind is to use it to do really important things. That way, you will take the best advantage of it.
