What Are Your Opinions on Internet “addiction” Being Declared a Medical Problem?
Question by Evan: What are your opinions on internet “addiction” being declared a medical problem?
I don’t know how recently or exactly who is doing this, but internet “addiction” is being classified as an actual medical problem. I dont know if it already is or if people are just trying to make it so, but i recently heard about it.
What are your thoughts on this?
I personally think that the people calling it a medical problem and the people that will claim to be addicted to the internet are just looking for some way to justify extensive use of the internet. people are looking for mroe and more ways to put blame on something other than themselves for what they do. its rather pathetic.
