∙ 11y agoActually, Not much at all! They both influence brain neurotransmitters in the brain. One of the most important being Dopamine. When too much dopamine is released over and over in relation to a specific task, addiction often follows. This is because the brain begins to get less and less sensitive to the effects of dopamine , causing an increased need for more and more of the activity that caused the elevation in the first place. Other Neurochemicals are involved, but they have more to do with the bad feelings when you can not satisfy your addiction adequately. So, Drugs, Sugar, Love and even TV are all capable of causing addiction to differing degrees. The old saying too much of a good thing really does have merit based on my answer.

Where do addiction come from?
Well, as far as I know addictions come from mm..... always being into it or always doing or watching it. This isn't bad if the addiction can do nothing to your health but no addiction has no negative effect on you, anime or cartoon or any program in the tv addiction causes you to stay up late and makes you weak! Smoke addiction very bad to you and the people around you! Computer addiction gets you just like tv addiction! Drug addiction consult a specialist and try to stop! So those are the only addictions that are common I still don't know how to stop them because I am an anime addict! And in love with an anime!

Do you agree with WINN that excess TV viewing is a problem of the same magnitude as an addiction?
No, I am not agree that TV viewing is a problem of same magnitude as that of addiction. This is true that excess TV viewing is not good for us, but it could not be stated that it is an addiction. Viewing TV is a pleasurable habit which can be lessen. In her essay, Winn has just took the negative effects of TV viewing while we all know very well that TV viewing is not only pleasurable activity but a great source of information and has many other positive effects on our lives. On the other hand drug addiction gives pleasure at the time of taking, after that it ruins the life. So i cannot say that TV viewing is a problem of same magnitude as an addiction.
