Online shopping is the activity or action of purchasing things on the Internet

Nowadays, online businesses always seem to know what we want and how to nudge us toward their shopping carts, even when we are just browsing on facebook or searching for something else. That pair of shoes you looked at last week pops up in the corner of your screen like a stealth shopping mousetrap. Shopping online can be as easy as click, click, buy. But if you don’t watch out, it could become a habit that wrecks your finances.

Targeted and sponsored online ads are trying to capitalize on a concept that scientists call “cue-reactivity,” or excitement from shopping cues. In order to get us to press the buy button, businesses first must grab our attention and then make us interested enough to click on it. This momentum depends both on how excited we get when we see the item and also whether it can cause a craving, an irresistible desire to purchase.

It’s no surprise that online shopping cultivates satisfaction in people who like a ton of variety. Plus, online stores never “close.” This can lead to more regular cravings for shopping.

People who feed off immediate gratification are drawn to online shopping, where purchases are one click away. The quick satisfaction feeds into the cycle of cravings and rewards.

But if you're thinking, "Wait, I like all those features of online shopping!" (and the popularity of Amazon suggests that many of us do), it doesn’t necessarily mean you have an online shopping problem.

Everyone uses social media on their daily basis, it became more of a need than just simply a habit or a trend. Because technology became so accessible in every second of our lives because of it's portability, individuals are not able to be separated with technology. I can bet that most of the people that use technology would invest their time in social media. Social media are so diverse that almost every spectrum of our lives can be poured into a social media application and their wide network. There is always a social media to cater to any certain thing that exist in our daily lives; there's an app to entertain the need of being popular, to spread or to provide a platform for ideas ranging from writings, drawings, or even multimedia, or just simply to communicate with one another. Social media networks connect individuals internationally, exactly this what keeps people entertained and keep invested in social media; it serves as a validation for many people. It creates a safety net for many people. But exactly when it creates such benefits, many people will be impossible to be separated or to be limited in their practice of social media. It creates an addiction, reasons to always be on your phone, thinking that it's the only thing that is essential in your life, that you're nothing without social media, people are addicted and heavily obsessed.

But why is it so bad? 
First, social media caters to the existing power structure, it's always been the trend that in social media practices, it's not the exposure of positive values and progress, it's usually the root of the sense of 'you're not valid if you're not popular in social media. In instagram for example, it creates the standard of beauty and aesthetics by merely pictures posted; that women have the need to cater to that idea of beauty. Secondly, it exposes users to negative content; hate speech, negative values such as immoral activities and exclusive rhetorics, cybercrime, pornography, and even start internet fights. Thirdly, it creates the notion that you need to stay in the application and always be online to achieve certain achievements. Exactly all of these reasons affect how we exercise in our practices of social media. We tend to forget to our important tasks in the real life, this is most prominent in students that are unable to sort their priorities and fail to do their works due to their addiction to social media. The same goes for adults with their jobs.

People (which most are students) gets addicted to games. But in my opinion, it's actually okay, if you still do other stuff not just the games. Most people opens up games because they are stressed at work and need refreshing by something that is fun. Games on phones give people a chance, so they can have fun without having to go outside. Games can also be positive because it can also create work, for example as a streamer, content creator, and also going professional. 

Although sometimes, I do also agree that addiction or obsession to games are also dangerous. People are sometimes found died in front of a computer from gaming too much. Younger kids also became obsessed from games and rarely talk to their parents. This kind of behavior could be dangerous in the future. 
Overall, my opinion of games have a mix feeling. But, if you can, try to not prioritize gaming if there is other important you could do like studying or talking to your parents.

(How Social Media Shaped Our View of the World)

I am sure that we all have heard this phrase at one point in our lives, and I am pretty sure most of the time we just brush it off and did not even bother to check the news because we know the news is going to corner us, generation Z and Millenials, the most prominent user of Social Media.

While we may not like it, social media has indeed taken a huge part of our lives and has played a role in shaping our world views. Most news about the dangers of social media was usually written by our predecessor, the Generation X, who, usually condemns social media users just because they don’t understand. While their viewpoint might be too subjective, the news they wrote may have a point.
These days, we worry more about looking good on social media and showing off our wealth/skills than actually developing said skills and working towards our goal. Social media is fake, we all know this, yet we still strive to be social media stars because we can see that their lives are glamorous. We put on a facade on social media, only showing the best aspects of our lives and often, our bodies.
Social media shaped how we see our bodies. Social media paved the way to bodily liberation and self love, while this is very much a positive, social media still has its downfalls. Body image issues like body dismorphia may stem from the constant beauty standards that are shoved down our throats daily. Sexual liberation that comes with social media, while being a positive, may strike a wrong cord with the older generations, which is why they write such biased news regarding social media.
These days we strive to be more social media-successful than actual successful. This is a harmful mindset to have, especially for our youth, who are facing economic downfall, global climate change,

Students these days rely on their phone so much, including me. I can’t live a day without my phone. Everyday after school, i always look up for an entertainment. Most of the time i open Youtube in my phone. I usually watch music shows of my favourite idol, or any other content that really entertains. After having a busy day in school, an entertainment is always a good idea. But because of that, i don’t manage my time well. When i’m watching a video, i usually feel lazy to study afterwards. In the end i spent hours to watch many videos. It’s really bad, and i want to change my habit on this. I think my addiction to youtube is really unuseful. It makes me forget to do important things. I really want to change my habit on this. Not only Youtube, i am also addicted to some games. When i’m 
playing the games, i didn’t manage my time well. It makes me forget what my priority actually is. I really want to change this bad habits of mine. 
—solutions—
i think i should reduce my time on holding my phone. on my time to study, i will keep my phone somewhere far from me so i won’t have the urge to use it. Not only that, i’m going to remove some of the games in my phone. I will keep just one or two games that will help me go trough the time if i’m bored.

In our lives today, we are unknowingly dependent our lives on technology. Can we imagine our lives without technology? Very difficult, right? We rely our lives on technology very much. Gadget, television, even school's stuff like projector, speaker, etc. We realize that we can't throw away technology easily. We can't and we should not do that. Addiction to technology and using technology as a tools to help our daily activity are very different. When we can see technology as a tools to help our daily activity, we will not feel addicted to technology.

Technology addiction occurs when we can't really escape from technology. We don't socialize, exercise, study, and only look for gadget or other technology everyday. This addiction should be stopped. This addiction can be caused by lack of daily activities and lack of awareness that technology is only used as a tool rather than as an obsession. Indeed there are also those who make technology as work, but this is different from addiction. Addictions that are too long can cause our bodies to be damaged by technology that makes us lazy. Then, technologies such as television, computers, and gadgets when used too long can also damage the eyes.

The public must find out that the use of technology may not be excessive. We must not make technology as the foundation of our lives because it is someday, technology may disappear and we must rely on ourselves. Make technology a tool to make relationships with others rather than destructive, and also make technology a tool for better life rather than as life itself.

The other type of video game addiction is associated with online multiplayer games. These games are played online with other people and are especially addictive because they generally have no ending. Gamers with this type of addiction enjoy creating and temporarily becoming an online character. They often build relationships with other online players as an escape from reality. For some, this community may be the place where they feel they’re the most accepted. Most of the people who are addicted to multiplayer games are ones who are isolated and pariah from public and society. They look forward to the sense of belonging, getting away from reality, giving up on trying to blend it with real life.

Like any other compulsive disorder, video game addiction can have severe negative consequences. Though most of the symptoms listed above have short-term effects, they can lead to more severe long-term repercussions if not addressed properly. For example, someone addicted to video games will often avoid sleeping or eating proper meals in order to continue gaming. While the short-term effects of this may include hunger and fatigue, it could eventually lead to a sleep disorder or diet-related health issues. Similarly, those who isolate themselves from others in order to play video games may miss out on family events, outings with friends, or other events in the short-term. If this continues to be a pattern for a long period of time, however, addicts might find themselves without any friends at all.

Other long-term effects of video game addiction to consider are the financial, academic and occupational consequences involved. Video games and video game equipment can be very expensive, especially when factoring in recurring costs such as the high-speed Internet connection required for online multiplayer games. These games can also be very time-consuming, leaving addicted gamers with less time to focus on their education or career.
