INTERNET ADDICTION

Are people going to have mental or physical problems because of internet addiction?.In this blog i will talk about the Internet addiction: the Internet addiction can cause serious mental and physical problems. Many of these are linked to the use of phones late at night, or to the use of headphones, the use of socials medias... At least half of the population is internet addicted, many people think that only teens are suffering of this addiction but in reality the most of the adults are also internet addicted. This addiction is not as dangerous as others like drugs or alcohol, but it also creates health problems. 


One of the bad things of this addiction is that as other addictions it creates health problem for example, the use of glasses in young people is increasing each year and is predicted that half of the planet will need glasses by 2050 because of screens ( McGoogan), many of them because of the use of phones at night in the dark. Another example is that each year more people are having ear problems like ear infections or they are losing the ability to listen because of using headphones or to listen to loud  music. (Young) Internet addiction can also cause mental problems one of these problems can be like the people that are addicted to smoking and need to smoke in a certain time or each certain period of time, some people need to check their social medias all the time also a lot of people start to think only about their phone and they start to isolate of the world and they create their own one (Young).There are a lot of health problems caused by this addiction, if you do something all the time at the end is going to affect your physical and maybe your mental health, depending of the addiction.



 Many people think and say that only young people, teenagers or little kids are internet addicted, but in reality also adults are addicted, many of them are all the time checking their emails or checking their phones to work or for other things. This addiction is becoming serious, a lot of toddlers are learning how to use a phone and how search in it even before of learning how to read or how to speak, so also babies are becoming addicted since they are born (Young).

This addiction is not good for us, but luckily if we all work for it can change this using some of the advices that I already said or using another ones that you can easily search in google. This is a war that for sure we can win successfully to help our health.
