The effects of Internet addiction is:
  • Bad grades in school or not focused at work
  • Emotions that will effect you e.g. depression
  • Getting the influence off the Internet to swear
  • May commit suicide towards the sadness & angrinessof being addicted
  • Giving away personal details, that will cause problems

    So if you are addicted to the Internet, try find a hobby that will int rest you in spending more time in that hobby instead of going on the Internet. Or make a timetable to go on the computer for a reasonable amount of hours e.g. 1/2 hour everyday.

    Second Opinion:

    Bad Grades?Depression?!SUICIDE?!!?

    That has to be the worst answer to a ligitimate question ever >_>

    I am some-what of an addict. I do get cravings to play games and i will liturally play games until i can't go on any longer because I'm too hungry/tiered/self-concious.

    The problem isn't the computer games I'm afraid - it's the reason people get addicted to computer games in the first place...

    I play computer games for one reason - to detach myself from my life, and all the problems i have... just for a little bit.

    It's exactly the same reason people have alcohol/drug/sex addictions. Something to do that you can be totally engrossed in, easy to do, and gives you time to get away from all the problems you're having.

    Unfortunatly, and this is the truth kid, running away from problems like this rarly helps...

    The problem may go away, but YOU will know you reacted to your problems by hiding from them. You will, after a period of time, start to hate yourself. You will pity yourself, your situation, and you'll loose your self-respect.

    Computer games is basically mental stimulation, so addictions are only really common in people who enjoy consistant mental stimulation. This is a good thing.Like other addictions, if you just give up you will start to crave other mental tasks. Sudoko... reading the news... forum debates, etc.

    These are all positive things, but again they don't help you fix your life.

    So in summery, the effects of computer game addictions are self-loathing, and a superiority complex stemming from no one around you being able to quench your need for mental challanges.

    The solution:

    Make yourself a todo list of all the things you want to do, then tomorrow, in the free time that you have, start ticking those things off one by one.

    The harder the challange, the more healthy an individual you will become after compleating it.

Whilst their have been a vast array of academic papers published in regards to gaming listing things such as an attribution to anti-social behaviour, improved co-ordination, improved mental abilities, etc. There is little in the way of conclusive evidence. As far as health is concerned, the standard concerns with gaming are that you spend a lot of time sitting and watching a screen, so prolonged gaming could lead to joint problems, weight problems, and problems with eyesight. However, there are simple things that can be done to mitigate these issues, which mostly involve gaming in moderation around a healthy lifestyle.

Playing too many addictive games can lead to many problems. Some of which include: becoming irritable and restless when you can't play; it can take away from time you should be spending with family, friends, school, work, or other commitments; the games cost money; sleep deprivation; weight loss from skipping meals. Those are just a few complications.

Sitting too much and not getting enough exercise. Strain on the eyes. Social problems because a person who is addicted with computer games doesn't socialize well and is more interested about getting back to their computer than making friends or having fun. The fun IS in their computer games. Eating junk food because usually people addicted to the computer won't eat meals on time.

Addiction, just addiction.

Unless you are prone to seizures, then they may happen in a very small number of people.

Is it bad for children to play games on the computer?

People say violent video games can be bad for your health, that is somewhat true. If you sit or lay down playing video games a day you can gain more weight because you aren’t moving around. Yet those are some people's jobs they sit down and make or even test video games all day long. I believe that if you just take the time to learn how long and hard it is to make those games you will see that it’s not easy. So next time you say that it’s bad for you to just sit and play video games, just remember that it is someone's job.

There are many "bad" things video games can do to your health, so a player must always be cautious. However, every complaint can be prevented by changing the way you play. Obesity, for example, can be prevented by changing the kind of game you play, and the frequency at which you play. As for mental health, video games have a good reputation across the board.
