Online Addiction
In earlier days people used to talk about few Addictions, Alcohol and Cigarettes and few year after that they started talking about Drugs whereas now the whole buss is around Online Addiction. People sitting on the internet and watching videos. Couple of days I was one of them, I used to watch lot of videos online, let it be movies, videos, serials etc.. and my whole concentration got diverted from working in office to Online. I used to take lot of holidays to sit home do nothing but watch. Slowly my meeting friends started to decline, whenever a friend or my parents called I said, I am busy we will catch up after few days. I used to watch the same videos again and again.
Few days passed in this scenario and I suddenly started feeling when I met people face to face I couldn't talk to them, thats when I decided things need to change. I started reading instead of watching videos online, it took me lot of efforts but the process started now I was getting bored watching the same videos again. Thats when I thought that my mind is moving in a positive direction. Now it was more of reading books, blogs and watching informative videos. I made it a point that I will watch videos only during my lunch hours, I started going for workout in the evening so the time which I used to spent on my Online Addiction is now diverted elsewhere.
After success of the above steps, I started thinking am I still an Online Addict? Coz the amount of internet has reduced a little, nevertheless I am still writing, reading and watching online videos. Now I understood that the use of internet is made for better use and my mind is being utilised in much better capacity. I could concentrate more coz I am more interested in collecting information rather than just watching. My interaction with my friends improved since I have better topics to share in a crowed. I could see the real use of internet, and now I proudly say that yes I am an Online Addict, without needing a cure.
