Does the Internet causes Addiction?

-          There are too many web pages that had caused too many problems during years. Web pages like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, and others had caused a big impact on people. A lot of people had become addicted to the internet and the addiction is too big that most of the people had all these applications installed in their mobile phone so this way they can be all day connected no matter where they are. Teenagers and even smaller kids prefer to be on the internet before doing their homework or studying; these is a big conflict discussed during years because if it continues like this most of the kids would decide not to go to school so this way they can have the entire day to play or to stay connected on the internet. In Italy there is already two hospitals that take care of the addiction caused by the internet this had been called “Internet Addiction Disorder.” The people who really are addicted to web pages is easy to recognize because those people prefer not to eat because they think if they go they would miss something in the page they are connected or they would prefer not to shower and also they can spend hours and hours in front of the computer without moving or stretching. This can cause a problem in people’s sight because they wouldn’t like move from the computer or relax a little bit their eyes. Even though the bad things that these web pages can cause, it can be used for good reasons; like for example Facebook can be used to find old friends you haven’t seen during years, or  YouTube, it can help you find interesting videos like recent news or videos for homework, or other things
