A dangerous ally to convert to safe

The Personal Computer has become an irreplaceable ally in everyday life, add to this tablet, mobile phones and the services available on the web that make life easier and ensure internet access without interruption, also supported by the applications of the different operators.
The downside is addiction. In the medical field, addiction to PC or the Internet is defined as the Internet Addition Disorder (They are) and it is the condition linked to the strong and insistent desire to use the PC and to connect to the Internet.
Dependence in this as in many areas, it is often difficult to recognize. At the beginning of the year, an acquaintance of mine who did not know what the internet was, died. The Lady, Well-known octogenarian seamstress had a "addiction" to sewing. She neglected her health and home and until the last day of well-being she had been happy only with "the needle in her hand" and all the time she had spent it for years now. The symptoms are always the same.
The person affected by this addiction, as in any other addiction, tends to gradually increase the time of use of the asset, enough to affect one's real life, depriving himself of friendships, body care, sports and social activities, adding up school or work problems.
Then when the "employee" cannot browse the internet or use the computer, the real suffering begins, characterized by marked irascibility to then move on to states of anxiety and depression. Specifically, compulsive internet connection disease, affects several aspects such as, the continuous search for information of different genres, games of chance or games in general online, weeks online, compulsive shopping, sex, Social Network, and so on.
As with any self-respecting addiction, getting out is possible, but it is a long operation that requires the strong involvement of the interested party. The patient must first be aware of having addiction, must contact the specialist who is able to provide him with all the necessary tools to deal with this pathology and prepare to manage often a much deeper anxiety than with the gradual reduction of dependence on PC, begins to emerge.
The management of the clinical picture becomes more complex when the disease attacks the child or boy. In everyday life the computer is an extraordinarily useful tool, which helps both in study and in leisure hours, but it is also an instrument with which it is incredibly easy to waste time. Even in this age group, the too much time spent in front of the computer and therefore the dependence arose from some sites such as social networks, games, chat.
In the youth field, this PC disease is considered as important as opiate addiction. Obviously not all cases are so serious,
it is often just an immoderate use of the device, anyhow, you have to be very careful because the boundary between excessive use and dependence is really thin.
When the parent becomes aware that his child makes excessive use of the PC, sometimes it is sufficient to move the Personal Computer to a visible point of the house or in an area open to everyone. Removing the pc from the teenager's room, prolonged use of the child should be inhibited, feeling himself controlled. When this fails, a valid alternative may be to put a login password, in such a way that the child or teenager must have the authorization of the parent, which will supervise and therefore limit the use itself. The parent will also be able to involve the child in outdoor activities, maybe a walk, or play to divert him from the PC. These easy and essential rules, they should help the teenager gradually remove the obsession with the PC and the web.
Concluding the Personal Computer and the Internet, adoperati them with a grain of salt, they are fundamental and simplify life,the important thing is that in all things do not exceed.
