ict addiction

for all we know we are considered living in an IT world.. almost everything we do in our daily life is connected to IT like banking.. paying bills online.. downloading videos from the internet.. all of these can be done from a computer by using IT.. but some people nowadays are very connected to the computer until they sacrifice almost all of their time sitting on the chair browsing and surfing the net.. like checking thier facebook.. playing games online.. chatting.. actually it is not wrong for us to chat surf or watch downloaded videos from the internet but if we put all our time by doing so.. then its considered wrong.. because by spending all our time it may lead 2 unethical behaviors.. such as it addicts will tend 2 be more socially awkward because less of intercation with other people even with thier own families.. sometimes they tend 2 be narrow minded.. so so.. meaning 2 say that it can effect us mentally and physically..


"Addiction to virtual worlds is already a big issue; some of these worlds even have their own currency. There will be more diversity in interfaces with computers and data, and VR will certainly be commonly used in business". - Michael Steele, internet user since 1978
