When the network becomes an addiction

Everyone knows that nowadays people have Internet access at an earlier age. However, many people become extremely attached to the Internet and the number of peoples that are addicts for the network is increasing.
To have a notion about the size of this problem, we can look at the numbers divulged by the Centro de Recuperação para Dependência de Internet, located in the United States, according to which, the share of addicts in the various countries studied, is 5% (as in Brazil) to 10% of users – with concentration in the range of 15 to 29 years. Also according to the institute, the internet addict has similar behavior with the addicted to alcohol or drugs, having a rare moment of euphoria when he is in front of the computer.
It isn´t easy to see when using the Internet becomes unhealthy. People who consider themselves addicted to the Internet say that the Internet like a distraction gives place at a essential thing in their lives, without anyone see.
Although difficult, the science has already mapped the first symptoms of this disease. First time spent on the Internet increase, reaching an incredible 14 hours daily. Moreover, the appearance of dark circles and changes in diet, as the exchange of foods that require utensils for sandwiches (so that one hand can stay on the keyboard) are other indications that the user should seek the help of a specialist.
