Internet Addiction


I was checking in the internet, about internet addiction, and I saw several information about this topic, but in my opinion has the same conclusion is a big problem, yes is a big problem around the world. I think  there are many countries in the world tha are going through this problem, and is very sad, because there many young people that are trapped in this addiction.

The obsession with the programming, computer games and the compulsive pursuit of sex and dysfunctional relationships through the internet, foman part of this syndrome.
If you have problem with the internet, if you are addict to the internet you have problem with internet addiction.

The Internet and other Addictions!!

 

What is Internet addiction or computer addiction?

Internet Addiction, otherwise known as computer addiction, online addiction, or internet addiction disorder (IAD), covers a variety of impulse-control problems, including:

Comment about the 2sd week of class

On feb. 4th the professor talked about the evaluation of the subject IDI-324, he explained that every single  part of the class is important, I agree with him that a student can't be evaluated just becuase of the good or bad scores gotten from an exam. I think that the knowledge must be evaluated within the student's daily activities.
