ESSAY ON ARE WE TOO DEPEND ON COMPUTER AND MOBILE PHONE,IF YES,HOW CAN WE REDUCE THE ADDICTION
Answers
You probably know a person who is a cell phone addict. It could be the person who leaves his phone on in the hospital even if it is against the rules because he is afraid he will miss a call. Or the phone user who sends text messages all day from work when he should be doing his job. These same people will have an anxiety attack if they forgot their phones at home and cannot enjoy what they are doing until that phone is back in their hand.
Unfortunately, cell phone addiction may become more widespread as greater numbers of children are using cell phones. One study showed that Japanese children didn't make friends with peers who didn't have the phones. Another showed that three quarters of Hungarian children owned cell phones. A study in Italy showed that one quarter of the adolescents had multiple cell phones while in Great Britain 36% of college students surveyed admitted that they could not live without their cell phones. An unexpected result form the British study was that 7% of the students stated that they had lost a job or a relationship over their cell phone use.
There are questions as to whether cell phone addictions are actual addictions, such as an addiction to drugs would be. There are some similarities. Cell phone addicts use their phone to make them feel better. These users even seem to increase their phone use over time to get the same feeling that they had when they first began using them. There are also some anxiety issues when the user does not have his phone available. With regular addictions, there are usually some changes to the brain, from alcohol addiction to food addiction. There may have to be a study done on the brain of a cell phone addict for this trend to be considered an actual addiction.
Until then, you may have to look for the signs yourself if you are worried about a loved one being a cell phone addict. Again, the signs of an addict are someone that can not stay off his cell phone for any length of time. The person may become irritated if someone does not answer his voicemail or text message quick enough. He refuses to turn his phone off, even in areas where cell phone usage is restricted. If he has forgotten his phone at home, he can think of nothing else until he can get home to get it.
If this sounds like one of your children, there is something that you can do. If you have a premium cell phone plan, you can drop it back to the basics and limit the amount of time the child can spend on the phone. The youngster may not like it but will become adjusted to less cell phone usage as time goes by.
Cell phones do make life easier, but you should not lose sight of the fact that there is a life without them.

Are We Dependent on our Computers and Mobile Phones?
There is no denying the fact that we have become too much dependent on computers. This dependence has become so much that it has become addiction. See all around you, and you will automatically realize what the truth is. If you don’t have the time to ponder over this truth, here it is. We have not only become dependent on computers and mobile phones, but we have become addicted to them also.
Mobiles and computers have become a source of major distractions for everyone, especially the students and youngsters. Young boys and girls seem to have become inordinately addicted to mobile phones and computers. They are thoughtlessly and uselessly wasting their precious time on these useless sites.
The overuse of mobiles and computers has posed serious health issues. Radiation caused by microwaves emitting from network towers as well as mobile phones, eyesight getting affected due to exposure to mobile screen for hours, etc. are some of the health issues. Besides, mobile phones are also responsible for difficulty in concentration, fatigue, headaches and sleep disturbance that can further trigger health complications. Owing to late night use of mobile phones, the youngsters skimp on sleep which further causes health consequences. This has made them aggressive and irritated.
The other major disadvantage of the increasing use of such networking sites is the spread of obscenity. This is having a very negative impact on the impressionable minds of our young children and leading them astray.
How Can We Reduce It?
The only solution to check this dependence and addiction is putting some monitoring and check on their use. Parents, teachers and the government must look into the problems being caused by mobiles and these networking sites and must formulate a strategy either to curb or completely stop its fast growing negative influence on the minds of our youth. Their use must be restricted and monitored.
The youth must be drawn to the joy of reading books, playing outdoor games, rafting, boating, swimming, trekking, etc. to wean them off computer addiction.
Our youth is the future of our nation. We cannot allow this youth to waste their precious time on mobiles doing the Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Twitter, etc.. The same time must be spent on studying, researching and developing leadership or other life-skills. It is our moral duty as well as responsibility to lead our youth on the right path and teach them to make best use of these wonderful gadgets to improve themselves only. Instead of misusing them, we must make their optimal use without letting them harm us physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
