Computer Exercise Case Study
July 13, 2007 – 6:31 amBackground of the study
Computer addiction is shared by the young and the old. As I observed the addiction strikes women as often as men, and most especially the teenagers or the students. An increasing number of people of all ages spend countless hours glued to their computer and usually online at the expense of their relationships and health. Computer is one the most advance technology that human created.And because of that, more and more peple become addicted to the computer. Computer is invented in a good purpose, but unfortunately people use computer in a bad way. To the point that they become computer addicted.
Problem Statement
Computer addiction is everywhere. Like what happened to Luci, she is a computer addict. And she could not wait to get in front of the computer. Luci’s excessive use of the computer was abnormal and because of that she have no time to his children causing her to lose the custody of her children. And the usual problem of the computer addicts is that, they dont have enough time to his work, family, and friends.
Unfortunately, computer addiction is still not taken seriously enough by the government and also the people. And since none of the negative things of computer abuse are immediate or directly harmful. Students by the hundreds and thousands fail classes because they spend their study time in front of a computer. Which is a bad study habit.
Conclusion
Indeed now a days, more and more people become addicted to computer. And everybody can be affected and can be an addict. Because computers are everywhere and computers are temptation. And it can also destroy human relation.
Alternative Courses of Action
Find other interests. Preferably something that has nothing to do with computers or the Internet. Try a new activity or hobby. It would be even better if it could include your family, friend, or significant other. Force yourself to think what you can do and try something new, it doesn’t matter what. Don’t give in the voice inside you that says you can’t do it.
Recommendation
Develop new relationships and friendships. Developing new friendships can add the satisfaction you experience in your life. Although technology is stimulating and computer is known, it does not provide the personal or emotional connection that relationships do. The computer and the Internet may have the capacity to connect you to the world, and to make the world a smaller place; but, these activities are engaged in alone and can be socially isolating. The advances in technology create opportunity for new adventures, but they cannot create the intimacy of human contact. It is my belief (and I like technology) that the greatest inner peace and satisfaction is derived from such relationships.
Do something different. Even a small change can produce greater changes in the future in your overall pattern of use. Don’t be afraid to try something new.
