Do you know how internet addiction is affecting you?

48 percent of parents feel they have to answer emails and texts immediately, and 72 percent of teens say they need to; 69 percent of parents say they check devices hourly while 78 percent of teens do. (Joyce) Nowadays the internet is affecting people by video games, negative impact on relationships, and impact on health.

First, video games are affecting most people or teenagers, adults and children. (Lenhart)In many countries, there are people that have forgotten also how to live in the real world and don’t have a way of life.

Second, the negative impact on your relationships. Nowadays people spend more time on their cellphones than socializing with friends, with their families. This causes difficult communication between people(Lenhart).

Third, the impact on health. The people spend more time on the internet than in real life many people spend more time in cell phones than sleeping.

The internet is very effective in our life but many people have a reason for it, in work, on a journey or to do online shopping. I think we should have a stop for it, for it is causing much more than what you are thinking.
