Why are some people so addicted to internet?
We tend to become addicted to anything that provides gratifying stimulation for the mind. For some people its TV, for others its sex, for many, its the Internet. Strictly speaking, “addiction” isn’t quite the right word. If you ever have to deal with real addictions like drugs and alcohol, it becomes clear that there’s a big difference between somebody who surfs the ‘Net a lot and somebody whose life has been destroyed by drugs. But the basic cycle is actually quite similar: there is a craving, then an intention forms to satisfy the craving, then action takes place, which produces gratification, which reinforces the predisposition that produced the craving, etc. Its a cycle which self-reinforces into an automated behavior pattern.
