He immediately took to internet and soon discovered email and chat rooms. His parents watched over his shoulder for the first few weeks and discussed the need to be cautious with personal information and made sure that Josh was steering clear of pornographic and violent websites. As they became comfortable with Josh’s behavior on the internet, they no longer watched over him while he chatted with online friends and played online games. Problems soon arose, however. Josh began to spend most of his time in his bedroom with the computer, and he was moody when he was forced to spend time with his family. His grades dropped from A’s and B’s to C’s and D’s. He was irritable when he was away from his computer and often stayed online into the early mornings. When his alarmed parents removed the computer from Josh’s room, he became very hostile and threatened to harm himself. Josh’s parents quickly sought counseling for internet addiction.

Now German parents whose children show signs of the affliction can send them to a unique camp to get help. Often the butt of jokes and ridicule, Internet addicts are seen as geeky types who sit for hours on end in darkened rooms, converse only in chat rooms and have virtual relationships with the complete strangers who live thousands of miles away. In the cold light of every day life, such people seem at odds with the normal world around them. While perhaps extreme, few realize that this stereotype lifestyle is very much the standard existence for many Internet addicts and that rather from being a joke, it is a huge problem that is affecting the Web generation all over the world.

64. "Are You Addicted To The Internet?" By Lamar Stonecypher Is internet addiction real? If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, you might be suffering from internet addiction Disorder. http://www.kudzumonthly.com/kudzu/jul01/addiction.html

Are You Addicted to the Internet? by Lamar Stonecypher Are you compulsive in your use of the internet? Do you devote time to your online pursuits that would better be devoted to your family or career? Do you get up in the wee hours of the morning to check your email, or your favorite website? If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, you might be suffering from Internet Addiction Disorder. This malady was first described by Ivan Goldberg, MD, of Columbia University. He characterized it as a "maladaptive pattern of internet use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress." (Source: Duchon) Psychologist Kimberly S. Young likens internet addiction to pathological gambling addiction because it "involves failed impulse control without involving an intoxicant." Young studied 396 heavy internet users from a pool of volunteers who responded to an ad. Participants were selected if they reported four or more of the following: Feel preoccupied with the internet (think about it while offline) Feel a need to use the internet with increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction;

DEFINING INTERNET ADDICTION Created by Andy Oliver To be diagnosed as having Internet Addiction Disorder, a person must meet certain criteria as prescribed by the American Psychiatric Association. Three or more of these criteria must be present at any time during a twelve month period: 1. Tolerance: This refers to the need for increasing amounts of time on the Internet to achieve satisfaction and/or significantly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of time on the Internet. 2. Two or more withdrawal symptoms developing within days to one month after reduction of Internet use or cessation of Internet use (i.e., quitting cold turkey), and these must cause distress or impair social, personal or occupational functioning. These include: psychomotor agitation, i.e. trembling, tremors; anxiety; obsessive thinking about what is happening on the Internet; fantasies or dreams about the Internet; voluntary or involuntary typing movements of the fingers. 3. Use of the Internet is engaged in to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms. 4. The Internet is often accessed more often, or for longer periods of time than was intended.

Created by Andy Oliver Internet Addiction is a problem more common in society as Internet usage is increasing. The Internet can be informative, convenient, resourceful and fun, but for some, the addicted, these benefits become detriments. There are varying opinions on the subject. Some say that the Internet can be addicting to the point that it disturbs one's life and the lives of those around him. Others say that there is no such thing as Internet Addiction getting pleasure out of a computer is not the same as getting pleasure from cocaine or any other drug. Simple methods of prevention do exist that can reduce the negative effects of Internet use.

67. INTERNET "ADDICTION": THE EFFECTS OF SEX, AGE, DEPRESSION AND INTROVERSION With increasing use of the internet, internet addiction has been proposed and is now being discussed in both the mass media and academia (Griffiths, 1996 http://phoenix.herts.ac.uk/SDRU/Helen/inter.html

Internet "addiction": the effects of sex, age, depression and introversion Paper presented at the British Psychological Society London Conference 15 December 1998 Helen Petrie and David Gunn Psychology Department University of Hertfordshire College Lane Hatfield, Herts. AL10 9AB United Kingdom h.l.petrie@herts.ac.uk Abstract A survey of use of the internet and beliefs and attitudes towards the internet undertaken with a self-selecting sample of 445 internet users is presented. Users who define themselves as "addicted" to the internet are equally likely to be female as male, and have a mean age close to 30, contradicting the stereotype which has developed of internet "addicts" as teenage males. These characteristics may reflect the fact that older, female users are more likely to volunteer to participate in research and that the proportion of female internet users is growing rapidly. However, using the Internet Use and Attitudes Scale developed in the study, it is shown that there is a significant relationship between high internet use and positive attitudes towards the internet with both self-reported depression and introversion, supporting the view that internet "addicts’ are indeed introverted, and more likely to be suffering from depression. The current research used a questionnaire which was available via the internet between December 1997 and March 1998. The questionnaire included 27 questions to elicit data concerning use of the internet, beliefs and feelings about the internet and demographic information. One key question was whether respondents defined themselves as internet "addicts". Respondents also completed the Beck Depression Inventory and the Eysenck Introversion/Extroversion Scale. As respondents were self-selecting, they cannot be considered a random sample of internet users and this must be born in mind when considering the results. 505 completed questionnaires were submitted, yielding 445 analyzable questionnaires.

However, when the concept of Internet addiction was first introduced in a pioneer study by Young (1996), it sparked a controversial debate by both clinicians and academicians. Part of this controversy revolved around the contention that only physical substances ingested into the body could be termed "addictive." While many believed the term addiction should be applied only to cases involving the ingestion of a drug (e.g., Rachlin, 1990; Walker, 1989), defining addiction has moved beyond this to include a number of behaviors which do not involve an intoxicant such as compulsive gambling (Griffiths, 1990), video game playing (Keepers, 1990), overeating (Lesuire & Bloome, 1993), exercise (Morgan, 1979), love relationships (Peele & Brody, 1975), and television-viewing (Winn, 1983). Therefore, linking the term "addiction" solely to drugs creates an artificial distinction that strips the usage of the term for a similar condition when drugs are not involved (Alexander & Scheweighofer, 1988).

Similar problems have been reported with overuse of video and computer gaming before the arrival of the Internet, so it not the Internet per se that created this type of problem.

"After awhile, it was all I wanted to do, all I thought about. It was all so fascinating. In the chat rooms, I met a woman from Ottawa, Canada, who was a physics major at a university there. I don't see many women physics majors where I am. And I became close friends with a guy living in England, who was actually an exchange student from California. We connected over everything in life!" Kim got so engrossed in her Net world that she ignored her studies. A former math and science whiz in high school with serious career ambitions, she allowed her grades to crash before recognizing that her new obsession was sabotaging her goals. At least Kim recognized the problem. Most college students, sadly, do not. And as their numbers continue to soar, colleges have become perhaps the major breeding ground of Internet addiction.

Hardy Deseret News staff writer The daylong conference, "Breaking Free: Shaking Off the Chains of Addiction," sponsored by Women's Services and Resources, explored addictions ranging from eating disorders and prescription drug dependencies to cybersex. Reid, a psychologist, leads a sex offender program at the Utah State Prison and has a Web site that deals with Internet safety. The Internet is neither good nor bad but becomes addictive when it "affects other areas of your life," Reid said. The time one spends surfing the Net is one of the trade-offs, he said. Others could include sacrifices of work, school, family relationships and finances. Reputations can be damaged or destroyed through cybersex, he said. Getting fully hooked on the Internet can take as little as six months, he said. document.write(Banner("area=dn.local.position1y/adsize=300x250",300,250)) The most popular sites are chat rooms, taking up to 35 percent of the time time people spend on the Net.
