The Affects of Internet Addiction

While internet is fast becoming a part of our lives, it's still not without its own negative impact towards one's life. Here are the affects of being an internet addict:

1. Precious time is wasted in a meaningless way when time is usually never enough in one's life.
   
2. Severs the family bonding and friendship which could lead to disharmony, stress and isolation.
   
3. Might cause damage to the eye sight if one sits too long in front of the monitor which emits harmful electromagnetic radiation.
   
4. Isolated by family members and friends because one spends too much time on the internet and does not give a bother about them.
5. Humans need ample time to rest and sleep. Internet addiction will cause minimum sleep time which could lead to serious illnesses.
