Week 3 part 2: The internet addiction has already been observed by researchers, and one of the latest critical thinking is that this matter is seen as excessive use of computer or internet which can cause some distress. According to Weinstein, M: “  Problematic Internet addiction or excessive Internet use is characterized by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, urges, or behavior regarding computer use and Internet access that lead to impairment or distress.”

However, this says that currently, there is no recognition of internet addiction within the spectrum of addictive disorders and, therefore, no corresponding diagnosis. It has, however, been proposed for inclusion in the next version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM).

How I use new communication Technology to communicate with my family and friends.

Week 2 part 5: New communication Technology is a really important thing in our days. I usually use it  to communicate with my friends and family. I practically started   using it since 2005, with the very basics of emails on yahoo and Google. and as the technology keep going , we had received this social media called Facebook, and I use it to communicate with my friends as well.

For Instance, I have been influenced by my friends to use the social media called Facebook, because most of them were on Facebook, and I found it really helpful. knowing that I could still communicate with people who are faraway from me through the internet.

However being called to use and adapt to these kind of communication, I was not able to manipulate every aspect of this and was very concerned about my privacy; because I did not want my privacy to be known by other users; and I discover that Google and Facebook are displaying some privacy about their users. and when it come to my privacy, on Google and Facebook, I prefer to leave some questions blank.

We use internet to connect with friends, and I do have a friend on Facebook whom I never met physically. and I think there is always  a difference between an online friend and a physical friend. the difference is that with a physical friend you are sharing a real life, you see the way he or she speaks, lough, run, walk or any other activity that he or she can do; but the one online is not known enough, you can still communicate but your world is limited.
