This is an excellent post covering an important element of modern life. Internet addiction is a reality and medically acknowledged. Unfortunately, it has not been discussed in more detail and hence has not found too much coverage. it’s about time that it should be covered along with many other obsessive compulsive disorders.

This is a well known problem to those that want to admit it. But you have to think, is the internet actually a foreign substance? Some may look at it that way saying that we were not intended to interact with technology to such extremes. Of course I am not downsizing the importance of having all this great technology, but I agree it is definitely not healthy to replace normal life with a cyber one. Interesting article Shane, and I believe a much needed wake up call to get folks back in check that need it. Possibly myself included.

I think the internet is addictive, how can it not be with all that free information at your finger tips. I don’t think of it as a bad addiction though.

Hey Shane,
I don’t need any kind of Internet Rehab..
But I actually agree with your points that internet addiction is quite common among youngsters as they keep using internet whole day and hardly spend their time with offline family and friends.

Given the amount of time we’ve started spending online, in front of our computer screens, phone, tablets, other devices, and on the internet, I’d say everyone is in dire need of internet rehab. We’re glued to our screens 24/7. If I were to make a prediction, I’d say internet rehab facilities will start making a ton of money in the near future!

The internet can be addictive, an addiction to the internet is only going to be really noticable if it starts seriously impacting your social life.

There’s no doubt that the internet has changed us. There are, of course, so many ways in which it can have a positive impact on certain aspects of our lives. This brings up an important point, though. It’s so nice to be able to keep in touch via social media, but once this starts to replace real-world interaction there is a problem. Thanks!

Internet addiction no doubt exists but how do you differentiate it from internet passion? for someone who is really passionate about the internet?

For me it is a way of living. I am working as Internet marketer since 1999 and honestly I quite enjoy it. I work for myself, can do my job from anywhere and I am constantly on holiday.

Internet has changed a lot. I don’t think it is internet which is the problem. I think the underlying issue is people’s insecurity and lazyness. Internet is quick and easy. Social networking is easier than face to face networking. And behind a screen give people a sense of safety. Gadgets make it even worse (or better, depending on the goal or point of view).

Hi Shane, you sound like you have a good balance in your life, but most importantly – you have passion about those things in which you do. Great to see mate. Keep on trucking
A heavy post! Sadly its true for lots of us these days. Being aware helps though and the best step is to engage in offline marketing and networking for your business.

Addictions are not a laughing matter as a person who has not had an alcohol problem now since 1995, when we purchased our first computer for my son. It was amazing especialy for me as I had no contact with technology like this.
My wife and son both were very familiar with them. I would stand and watch over their shoulder and be amazed as they surfed the net.
Within 3 months we had 3 PCs and well that was the begining for me. My wife thinks I replaced one addiction with another. Believe me addictons especialy for me alcohol was no easy task to defeat.
I hope she is wrong and it is just a passion for me like her reading. But I do enjoy it!
In our society today you can see the effect. Even in a small town like mine you see as many accidents caused by cellphones as DUI!
At my age (70) I do love it and we shal see!
This is a very interesting topic.

True. The internet has became a part of our daily life, its like we cant live without internet. Everyone is addicted to it from kids to elders. Its true internet is all now a days but its not everything by spending whole day on internet mentally there will be stress and we will not be out with friends and even will not be enjoying this beautiful nature. We will be getting huge information on internet about the world and everything but will not be aware of whats going on in neighbor. Its good if you are addicted to internet but there must be a limit and time for others.

I do think the internet is an addiction (and I’m a social media and SEO strategist) but I don’t know if it’s as dangerous as other addictions that are prevalent in society. I do go on my laptop everyday and carry a Blackberry around to check my Twitter and Facebook, but have enjoyed when I’ve had to disconnect when traveling.

It’s a fine line to describe this as an addiction, because so much of our careers and learning is enabled by the internet. If you are constantly on the internet, but it is because you are building a business, working or teaching yourself new skills is that an addiction?
Hi Shane,
This is actually the first time I have encountered the phrase “Internet Rehabâ€. After reading your post, I agree with you that there are a lot of people, especially very young children and young adults, who are very addicted to Internet use. But I think there are many other categories of Internet addiction. There are those who use the Internet frequently because of playing online games, or they rampantly use the Internet to read (which is a good thing, right), or they are shopaholics who have turned to online shopping.
I myself have become addicted to the Internet once, but it was because I loved to play online games. Over time, I’ve outgrown it and stopped. It really depends on the individual if he/she wants to reduce or stop their excessive Internet usage.

I think everything in life needs balance. If your on the net 24 hours a day and your life is unmanageable, then you have a problem. Just like a drug addict.

Yeah this seems to connect to mobile phone love also. It seems hard to have conversations with people anymore because they are always on their phones.
After reading your post, I don’t think I need internet rehab but I definitely know some 15 year olds that do! Going outside and going to different places really goes a long way.

I used to have this issues from last 5 years or so. But then I took a nice big break. Maybe a break of 6 months. I really repent my decision of taking that break. I just liked the old me. Addicted to internet and working day in day out. Maybe one should think a lot before taking any further steps.
