Caught in the Web

The World Wide Web has been growing in leaps and bounds providing us with information at our fingertips and many of us are getting quite caught up in the web. In fact Web addiction is growing at alarming levels and it even comes with its own symptoms – lack of sleep, dry eyes and what not. Web addiction is prevalent in all ages [even children get sucked into this massive web] and is preventing serious work being done.  A person who is addicted to the web cannot go a single day without browsing the web and though he might do something useful on-line , mostly the time is spent on the same website (social networking most probably) hoping something new may turn up. Some of the crazy games on-line are proof of the addiction. There is a game which involves you clicking a button continuously for a minute. I don’t know what is the point of the game, maybe it provides your fingers with adequate exercise. Social networking sites are the vogue and you can see almost everyone joining in one of them and connecting with friends. Who needs to go out with buddies while you can stay where you are and chat? Who needs to play games outside and break windows when you can play inside in the safety and comfort of your house? Why do you need to go out to the stores when you can order on-line ? These are typical questions a web addict would ask. Our World in the future maybe just a bubble with you and your laptop and you would be probably chatting with your family (Me: Mom, breakfast in Bed)!!! So people go out and get a life. We don’t want to be creating web addicts annonymous.
