Addicted to the internet???

Yes, apparently, now that is a real thing, and we’re all in DANGER!!!

But the real question is why? Why is it now as great a threat to be addicted to the internet as it is for any other ‘real’ addiction? Well there are a number of reasons.

1.       Its much, much easier to talk to people online than face to face. Instantly, you could be talking to different people all across the world with one simple device. But that’s not all, why stop at talking when we can STALK anyone we please. Everything you’d ever want to know about a person (and sometimes a little too much) is just a click away. And if that’s not even a little bit tempting, I don’t know what is. 

   2.    Also did I mention, you never have to leave your house. 

       Oh, you didn’t shave your legs today?

You didn’t feel like wearing pants today?

Worry Not! you can STILL go shopping, watch movies, pick a fight, take a class, chat, be social, AND PRODUCTIVE all from behind your screen. 

3. 3.   Lastly, and most importantly, NETFLIX IS ON THE INTERNET!! YOU NEED INTERNET FOR NETFLIX AND AS EVERYBODY KNOWS NETFLIX > LIFE. Yes, Netflix makes everyone addicted to the internet. Don't deny it. 

    Now I know what we're all wondering. Are we really addicted to the internet? personally, I don't think so. Although, a couple days ago I tried to google what day my friend's birthday was. After it (obviously) didn't work I had to put myself through an awkward conversation subtly hinting her to tell me the date before I realized I could have just Facebooked it. Too much time looking at a screen and lazing around, isn't very beneficial, but it encourages us to be able to spend time alone, which I think is very important.
