 Smartphone and Internet Addiction 


    Smartphone and Internet Addiction is both a boon and bane to society. Smartphone, tablet or computer can be a hugely productive tool, overuse of these devices can  interfere with work, school and relationships, when you spend more time on social media or playing games than you do interacting with real people, or you can't stop your self repeatedly checking texts, emails,or apps-even when it has negative consequences in your life-it may be time to reassess your technology use.


    Smartphone addiction, sometimes  known  as "nomophobia" (fear of being without a mobile phone), is often fueled by an internet overuse problem or internet addiction disorder. After all, it's rarely the phone or tablet it self that creates the compulsion, but rather the games,apps and online worlds it causes us  addiction can encompass a variety of impulse - control problems, including


Virtual relationships


    Addiction to social networking, dating apps, texting and messaging can extend to the point virtual, online friends become more important than real - life relationships we've all seen the couples sitting together in a restaurant ignoring eachother and engaging with their smartphones instead - while the internet can be a green place to meet new people, reconnect with old friends, or even start romantic relationship online or not a heal they substitute for real - life interactions online friendship can be appealing as they tend to exist in a bubble, not subject to the same demands can stresses as messy, real world relationships compulsive use of dating apps can change your focus to short - term hookups instead of developing long - terms relationships.


Information overload


    Continuos web surfing, watching videos, playing games, or checking news feeds can lead to lower productivity at work or school and isolate you to neglect others aspect of your life, from real world relationships to hobbies and social pursuits.


Online compulsions


     Such as gaming, gambling, stock trading, online shopping , or bidding on auction sites like ebay can often lead to financial and job - related problems. While gambling addictions has been a well - documented problems for years, the availablity of internet gambling has made gambling far more accessible. Compulsive stop trading or online shopping can be just as financially and socially damaging. eBay addicts may wake up at strange hours in order to be online for the last remaining minutes of an auction. You may purchase things you don't need and can't afford just to experience the excitement of placing the winning bid.
