Globalization is the world word for how the different nations now are depending on each other. How we can communicate with each other in a second. The world that for many years ago seemed so big is now open to explore if we want. But I want to pull forward the social, online globalization that we're all depending on. You'll find it in different ways, but my favorite is "facebook". Facebook can connect you to whomever you want. They approximately 901 million monthly users, there is more than 125 billion friend connections. That makes facebook a small world in the eyes of globalizations and networking. I can't even remember how life was before facebook? Do you?
But does this easy access to worldwide information make us addicted? I do belive so. You can access internet wherever you are. There is no one that gives you boundary lines for internet use. Well, that is if you are an adult. It's like a drug in some ways, a lot wants more. If you start "using", the mind just needs more and more. So how can you tell if someone is an internet-druggie? If you have an internet addiction disorder you'll find that your whole life surrounds and is affected by the internet. When you're using the internet you get some kind of high and when you're not you'll get a yearning when you're not. After a while you'll need more and more use to get in a good mood. And you will need abstinence to function in normal behavior again.
Some scientist means that there have to be other elements of psychic problems present for the addiction to appear. I don't know if I agree with that. Do you? It seems weird that no one can get it just by overuse, like other addictions can. But if that is the case, I'm happy that my mental health is fine, so I don't have to think about that I'm using the internet to much.
