I feel that Internet Addiction is the leading cause to many problems today. Broken relationships, and the way that children are more concerned about hooking up with their friends on social media sites that they forget what it’s like to just hang out and go the the park. Jonathan has hit it dead on saying the the internet has taken up so much of our social skills. Sure it’s okay to want to be able to go to a source that has the answer to just about anything or the best way to keep up with what is going on in the world. It is so easy to become, as Jonathan has said, addicted to many other sources of browsing entertainment. Being able to buy online can become more of a financial hardship than going to the store. The biggest issue I have is with getting my kids to go to bed because they don’t want to tear themselves away from the computer. Video games are just as addictive,  if not more so than the internet considering many are now online also. Jonathan’s ideas on ways to help internet addictions, such as setting a time frame and scheduling a set time each day, as well as limiting what you do when on it will also help to keep the addictions under control. Due to the fact that I think that the author was able to touch on the many problems on excessive internet usage I therefore agree with the need to limit and get control of it before it controls you."
