Title:China offers therapy to 4 million internet addicts
Link to article:*here*


As you read based on the article,It was found that China is the first country in the world to recognise the internet addiction as a clinical disease.
This is mainly because the youths in China spent their time using the computer with the internet access to log in such as chatting,blogging and play any kinds of games.


People especially the youths is the most who got addicted by this which means they spend their time for more than 6 hours.Anyway,can you all imagine what would we be like after sitting in front of a computer for so long?


well,wouldn't that affect our eye sight?From what I know,in this case there would be so many consequences.For example,became addicted and then,health maybe easily affected involving our body diet.When we are busy chatting or watching movie through the internet,we tend to be full.I mean,not hungry.As a result,the mood to eat decreases.


In this article,a poll by interactive corp stated that 42% of the chinese youths became addicted to any website rather than the youths in Us,which is only about 18%.Mr Tan also said that 80% of the addicts can be cured during treatment which can only lasts for about 3 months.


My suggestions is the same just like in this article.For example,all the people who got addicted to the internet should be given counselling as they will be inform what are the bad and good effects of using internet.Basically,they got influenced that they used internet for more than 6 hours a day.


Of course,there would be entertainment when using the internet but people especially the youths should not misused it.Maybe they would either send spam or virus.It would be bad,right?Military discipline,hypnosis or give an elcetric shock for those who are stubborn if possible should be done in any ways.


Finally,my conclusion is that people should be aware of this kind of problem and should try to prevent it as much as possible.Even if there is,then those who got addicted will be given treatment in the hospital.
