Is the internet addictive?  How much time each day do you spend in front of a screen?  Could you go ten days without the computer?  What do you think about the Internet Rescue Camps in South Korea?  What are the dangers of too much internet use?

In many cases I do believe that the internet is addictive. Many restaurants that you go to in this day and age feature more cell phone usage than actual face to face communication. Through this we really see how people are starting to disconnect themselves from the people and things that are really important in their real lives and not through their cell phones. Personally, I use my phone to communicate daily, but I don't video game or do things that take an excessive amount of time out of my day to day life. So yes, I could go ten days without my phone and have had to before, on vacation. Internet Rescue Camps are a an unfortunate necessity in our society today due to the disconnect that many internet addicts feel when trying to distinguish their virtual lives from their real ones. Due to this, the internet can be very dangerous if not used in moderation and with responsibility.

I think the internet is addictive if you use it in a certain way. For people who just use it to look things up I dont see how that could be addictive, but for the gamers out there I can see why they are always glued to their computer.  I have no idea how long I spend on the internet but its not that much. The only time I use my computer is to do my homeowork. I think I could go 10 days wihtout my computer but it would be very hard with my school work. My phone on the other hand, I dont think I could go that long without. Spending to much time on the internet could affect your comunications skills and everything would go downhill from there.

I most definitely believe that the internet is addictive. Anything can become addictive. I don't spend a lot of time in front of a screen, but I used to spend upwards of four hours per night after getting home from school. Now, I could go without the computer for ten days, and I find it sad that those camps in South Korea are even necessary. We have everything that humans have taken so long to create if internet becomes any more of a problem in society: respect, face-to-face conversations, not hiding behind a facade.
