  • Cybersex addiction: Compulsive use of Internet pornography sites.
  • Cyber-relationship addiction: Addiction to virtual relationships. People become obsessed with online friends and prefer their virtual reality to real-life relationships.
  • Net compulsions: Compulsive use of online gaming or online auction or bidding sites resulting in real-life financial troubles.
  • Information overload: Obsessive web surfing or database browsing. People feel they must get on the Internet constantly throughout the day, and this interferes with their productivity and real-life responsibilities.
  • Computer addiction: Fixated time spent on the computer. Many “computer geeks” fall into this category with acts of obsessive computer programming or gaming.

More than half of teens (54%) say they spend too much time on their cellphones, and 41% say they overdo it on social media.

    (from Quartz)]]>     2018-12-28 16:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801267     According to Common Sense Media, teens spend an average of nine hours a day online (paywall), compared to about six hours for those aged eight to 12 and 50 minutes for kids between 0 and eight. Any way you cut it, it’s a lot of time staring at a screen. 711464 https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801338 (from Quartz)]]> 2018-12-28 16:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801338 Pew’s latest research suggests that teens are self-aware about the problem—but unable to rein themselves in. That makes sense when you consider that neurobiological and hormonal changes in teen brains elevate their desire to feel a sense of belonging, to be respected and admired (and how hopeless adults are at tearing themselves away from their phones). A startling 44% of teens tell Pew that they often check their phones for messages or notifications as soon as they wake up; 28% say they check at least sometimes. 711464 https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801406 (from Quartz)]]> 2018-12-28 16:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801406 Straight from Quartz: (some stats.) 711464 https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801495 The study, which included 743 US teens and 1,058 US parents of teens, was conducted between March 7 and April 10, 2018. In keeping with other findings, girls were more likely than boys to say they spend too much time on social media (47% vs. 35%) while boys were four times as likely to report spending too much time on video games (41% of boys vs. 11% of girls). The top emotion teens associated with not having access to their phones was anxiety (42%), with girls once again reporting more anxiety from phone deprivation than boys (49% to 35%).

    Meanwhile, parents are concerned about their kids’ smartphone use—and many are enforcing limits. About two-thirds of parents (65%) say they worry about their teen spending too much time in front of screens, and one-third say they worry a lot. More than half of parents (57%) say they put limits on their kids being online, or on their phones, with a quarter saying they often do this.

    Perhaps most interesting was Pew’s findings on how kids feel about their parents’ use of technology. While 72% of parents say their teen is sometimes or often distracted by their phone while having real-life conversations, more than half (51%) of teens say the same about their parents. This raises the issue, highlighted by others including MIT professor Sherry Turkle, that parents would be smart to consider the technological behavior they model to their children.

    There is some reassuring news in the study: Many teens are trying to cut back on their own, with 52% saying they have tried to reduce mobile phone use, and 57% saying they have tried to limit their use of social media. We all probably spend too much time online, but teens, at least, are trying to do something about it.

All of these activities stimulate dopamine in the reward center of the brain. This reward center tends to be highly receptive in teenagers.Smartphones are, in many cases, used constantly throughout the day. This delivers a constant reward brain chemistry at levels hard to match with any other addiction. Addictive behavior is understood as a habitual drive or compulsion to engage in behaviors, despite the negative consequences.As a result, kids are experiencing self-esteem and self-confidence issues, all the while lacking in social skills and personal interactions with others. Why strike up a conversation with your neighbor, friend, or classmate when it is easier and quicker to get a dose of dopamine by grabbing your phone or tablet?Forcibly removing kids from their online social network has shown to trigger symptoms that are normally associated with drug/alcohol/nicotine withdrawal. According to a study published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking, “Sudden cessation of online social networking may, in some chronic users, cause signs and symptoms that at least partially resemble the ones seen during drug/alcohol/nicotine abstinence syndrome.” 711464 https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801561 (from elephant journal)]]> 2018-12-28 16:53:25 UTC https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316801561 Studies have repeatedly shown that excessive television usage and screen time is associated with early childhood delays in cognition, language, and social and emotional skills. This was, in part, related to a lack of parent/child interaction, because one or both parties were distracted by television or online activities.Studies also show that screen content matters. Switching from violent content to educational or positive content resulted in significant behavioral changes, particularly in young boys. 711464 https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316803552 2018-12-28 17:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/711464/edqopdy6b0u1/wish/316803552
