Internet Addiction The next part...

in #internet6 years ago (edited)

Hello,

Read the remaining part of internet addiction.

Development of the internet began about 20 years ago. In 1973

the U.S. Defense Research Projects Agency initiated a program to

research the techniques and technologies for inter-linking various

types of networks. The objective was to develop communication

protocols that would allow networked computers to

communicate the transparently across multiple, linked networks.

This was called the internetting Project and the system of

networks that emerged from the research was known as the

internet, Since that time, various other research projects, to

include those conducted by the U.S. National Science Foundation

and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, have

shaped and tailored this project to give the world the internet as

we know it thousands of Service Providers in the world.

Latest data indicates that there were 1.5 million host computers

on the internet as of June 2002, in Pakistan. With such a large

a portion of the population swimming in this seemingly never-

ending sea of information, what is the real impact of the internet

on society" it seems that the majority of society thinks the

internet is the greatest invention since the telephone this is

probably best justified by the whirlwind rate at which the Internet

grows? In fact, some say that the Internet is so enjoyable that it is

almost addicting! The problem is that recent studies have shown

that the internet may not only be addicting because it is

enjoyable, but that a fairly large number of users are experiencing

addiction of a clinical form. Identifying which category of

addiction the internet falls into is another problem. There are no

real answers yet because research in this area is at the beginning

stages. In the Wst, a few researchers are comparing the internet's

effects on marijuana as a psychostimulant. They argue that the

chemicals in marijuana activate the same stimuli as the Internet.

Most researchers to this date do, however, agree that this is some

type of behavioral addiction. People can become addicted to

activities even when that is no physiological dependence or

physiological addition.
