Nowadays, more and more people use the Internet. Some of these always feel their lives are meaningless if they don’t use it even once a day. Others skip meals and spend increasing amounts of time on the Internet. Restlessness, irritability, moodiness and lying to friends and family about the time they have spent online have become more and more popular. The Internet is now used as a tool for communication. We can use it at the office, at school, and at home to communicate with people, find information for work and school, find research for projects or just simply use it for entertainment. People can also find jokes on the Internet, use instant messenger to quickly reply messages to friends or co-workers or simply play games at work, school or in our home.

Some include interpersonal problems, neglecting friends, family, and job or personal responsibilities.
