Computer addiction.
Computer addiction is becoming a serious illness nowadays as people, especially children are spending hours and hours in front of a computer screen watching cartoons and playing games and more. Not only it affects their mental health but also damages their eyesight. With the introduction of Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, and other social media and messaging sites, people spend most of their time texting their friends and practice other online activities.
This makes people lazy and uninterested in other stuff as they want to sit in front of the computer and play games or watch movies in a relaxed manner. Many offices are reliable on the computer for completing their work so employees have to work on the computer for at least 6-8 hours continuously. It affects the mental health of the person along with affecting their physical health. Computer addiction may lead to various things like online gambling, shopping, collection of data, watching adult movies, and more, which is not good for you. If a person is spending more time than usual on a computer that means he/she is suffering from computer addiction.
There are many signs which can tell you that a person is addicted to the computer. One of them is the person won’t have any excitement towards outdoor activities or spending time with family or friends. He/she would prefer sitting in front of the computer and surf the internet for hours. There are four major types of categories for this addiction, which is as follows.
As a parent or teacher, it is very important to consult the child and advice him/her not to spend too much time on the computer as it is not good for their health. Also, advise your children to share things with you as that makes them feel confident, connected and loved. To prevent computer addiction, you should limit the usage time and should allow your children to use the computer only when necessary.
Give them your time and care so that they get busy with you rather than a computer. Encourage them to play outdoor sports and sometimes join them too. With these precaution and prevention techniques, you can help your kid with computer addiction and make them attentive towards study. Make your kid’s mind active and sharp rather than dull and busy in computers. You can also book an appointment with a psychologist for the cure. Often times, even adults can face this problem, but with proper guidance and motivation, it can be cured.
