Slide 9

What is Internet Addiction?

Internet addiction (or Internet addiction) is an obsessive desire to connect to the Internet and a painful inability to disconnect from the Internet in time. Internet addiction is a highly debated issue, but not a psychiatric disorder by medical criteria.

Slide 10

Symptoms of Internet Addiction (in order of increasing severity):

checking mail too often; reducing the time for eating at work and at home, eating in front of the monitor; logging into the Internet in the course of unrelated work; complaints from others about your excessive sitting at the computer; loss of sense of time on-line; more frequent communication with people on-line than in person; constant anticipation of the next on-line session or memories of the previous one;  ignoring family and work responsibilities, social life, scientific activities or the state of their health in connection with the depth of the Internet;

Slide 11

the inability to reduce the time spent on the Internet; skipping food, classes, meetings, or restricting sleep in order to be able to be online; logging on to the Internet to avoid problems or drown out feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression; the appearance of fatigue, irritability, decreased mood when you stop being online and an irresistible desire to return to the computer; “Secret” access to the Internet at the time of the absence of a spouse or other family members, accompanied by a feeling of relief or guilt; denial of addiction.

Slide 12

Stages of Internet addiction development.

Stage 1 - choosing an attractive option for virtual reality. At this stage, a person tries out different possibilities of surfing the Internet - communicates in chats, forums, conferences on various topics, plays. Gradually, the user forms his own style on the web, which can compensate for the lack of communication in real life. For example, a timid and not confident enough can enter the role of an aggressive and self-confident person in the network. Internet communication is already the most enjoyable, but not the main part of life.

Slide 13

Stage 2 - the goal is transferred to virtual reality, the choice is limited and the dependence is formed. The surfer begins to spend more and more time in the reality he has chosen at the previous stage, increases the number of interlocutors and topics for communication in the network, gradually moving further and further away from real life. Then a person stops using network interactions to achieve real life goals, he transfers his goals to the virtual space, then the very communication in the network becomes the preferred or even the only way to achieve the goal. This is how addiction is formed.

Slide 14

Stage 3 - the stage of stabilization (transition of dependence into a chronic form). After some time, the chosen interaction ceases to captivate the surfer with the same strength. The activity in the network fades away and the dependence becomes less pronounced. The person returns to reality, but without much desire. Addiction persists in an inactive form, it can intensify when new tempting topics and interlocutors appear in the network or in stressful situations.

Slide 15

Reasons for computer addiction:

1. Lack of communication. When a person (usually a teenager) cannot find friends with the same interests. If he is too withdrawn or afraid that he will be misunderstood. He makes the wrong conclusion and starts actively looking for friends on the Internet. 2. Lack of hobbies. If a person has a favorite hobby or plays sports. He simply will not have free time that he could devote to the Internet. 3. Unlucky. When a person is met with failure everywhere: bad work, quarrels with friends, problems with parents. He will try to realize himself somehow. And he will find this way in computer games

Slide 16

What does Internet addiction lead to:

an obsessive desire to check your mailbox on the Internet; constant waiting for the next exit to the network; addiction to work (games, programming or other activities) and information overload (that is, an irresistible urge to search for information on the WWW or surf the web); unwillingness to be distracted from work or playing with the computer; irritation with forced distraction; inability to plan the end of a session of work or play with the computer; spending a lot of money to ensure constant updating of both software (including games) and computer devices;

Slide 17

forgetting about household chores and sleep in favor of spending more time at the computer; abuse of coffee and other similar psychostimulants; willingness to be satisfied with irregular, random and monotonous food, without looking up from the computer; feeling of emotional uplift while working with a computer; discussion of computer topics with all people who are more or less knowledgeable in this area about their duties, studies, meetings and agreements during work or play on the computer; neglect of one's own health.

Slide 18

Internet addiction treatment:

To avoid becoming a slave to the World Wide Web, believe that your addiction is an unpleasant reality. Calculate how many hours a day you spend in front of the computer and what you could have done during this time. This does not mean that you need to completely skip visiting websites and viewing emails, but try to keep this time to a minimum. Every time you turn on your laptop (computer), mark the start and end times of work on it - so you can really see how much valuable time curiosity, boredom and idleness consume. Try to effectively build yours every day.

Slide 27

Where is the exit? By and large, in the same place as the entrance. The main goal is that the addicted person needs to return to real life. For this, everything that you like, captivate, evoke positive feelings will do. For some it is a sport, for others - creativity, exciting work, hobbies, love. In this difficult process, the support of loved ones is important, and, if necessary, psychological assistance.

  • No need to overload your project slides with text blocks, more illustrations and a minimum of text will allow you to better convey information and attract attention. The slide should contain only the key information, the rest is better to tell the audience orally.
  • The text must be well readable, otherwise the audience will not be able to see the information provided, will be greatly distracted from the story, trying to make out at least something, or will completely lose all interest. To do this, you need to choose the right font, taking into account where and how the presentation will be broadcast, and also choose the right combination of background and text.
  • It is important to rehearse your presentation, think about how you greet the audience, what you say first, how you end the presentation. All comes with experience.
  • Choose the right outfit, because The speaker's clothing also plays a big role in the perception of his speech.
  • Try to speak confidently, fluently, and coherently.
  • Try to enjoy the performance so you can be more relaxed and less anxious.
  • We ourselves created the drug? Psychologists sound the alarm and compare the phenomenon of Internet addiction only with an addiction to
    alcohol and drugs. There are indeed reasons for concern. Research conducted
    on the topic of Internet addiction show that with a long and uncontrolled presence in the network
    there are changes in the state of consciousness and in the functioning of the brain. Gradually it
    leads to a loss of the ability to learn and think deeply.
    Nicholas Carr, renowned American publicist, expert in management processes and
    transmission of information, together with the group of psychologists he created, came to
    disappointing conclusions - fast and regular browsing of sites leads to the fact that the brain
    a person loses the ability for in-depth analytical thinking, turning permanent
    netizens in impulsive and incapable of intellectual work.
    However, impaired thought processes and memory impairment are not the only ones.
    negative impact of the Internet on a person. Plunging headlong into the world wide web, man
    gradually loses the skills of real communication, which leads to a kind of asociality. What for
    meet friends when you can chat with them on Skype, why negotiate with someone in
    live or call, if you can just send a letter by e-mail, why search and buy
    goods in ordinary stores, when you can buy anything without leaving your home ... That is
    described earlier as advantages, all these conveniences with a long and uncontested
    use turn into a problem. This is how difficulties begin to appear in communicating with new
    people, and getting into an unfamiliar company for an Internet addict becomes
    stressful situation. Then the person closes in on himself, which affects work or study, he has
    problems with sleep appear (getting rid of insomnia without the help of a specialist is no longer for him
    seems possible) and food intake. Some unhealthy attachment to
    information technology drives even suicide.

    To date, scientists have identified 5 main types of this irrepressible craving for the Internet:

    1) The need for continuous communication (forums,
    social networks and various chats).
    This risk group of Internet addicts includes people who experience problems in
    communication. The lack of social and communication skills immerses them in a virtual
    a world that replaces them with a circle of friends.
    2) Informational Internet addiction or irresistible
    need for constant flow of information
    Intrusive web surfing involves an unordered search for information, devoid of any purpose and
    meaning. A person wanders through sites, databases, one after another reads articles, notes, comments to
    him, endlessly follows the links ... As a result, this is a senseless wandering and incessant
    searching for information leads to loss of productivity and information overload.
    3) Gambling addiction. This is when a person sits down and cannot
    break away from online games. leads to loss of productivity
    and information overload.
    Many gamers even spend real money to somehow improve their characters (for example, in
    RPG games like World of Warcraft) and achieve apparent superiority. Receiving huge
    pleasure, and seeing that they have reached the 25th level, while their nearest competitor has not reached
    even before the 22nd, they continue to play all day long and in the process of this race they become Internet addicted.

    4) Internet addiction associated with online gambling during
    is similar in many ways to the usual addiction to gambling.
    Online casinos, of which there are a great many on the Internet today, luring tens of thousands of new ones
    users every day, recreate the seductive and realistic world of traditional
    casino. The symptoms of this type of Internet addiction, as well as its causes and consequences, are akin to those of
    as usual gambling addiction (gambling). Unless there are some minor nuances. And here
    accessibility and, accordingly, involvement is many times higher than the indicators of conventional gaming
    institutions.
    5) cybersexual attraction is an obsessive viewing urge
    online pornography and cybersex.
    Although seemingly harmless at first glance, sexual Internet addiction is
    the most serious problem standing in the way of providing socio-psychological
    safety of both an individual and society as a whole. Today there are many family
    couples break up or are on the verge of breaking up due to the inclination of one of the spouses
    satisfy your sexual needs using the Internet. In people suffering
    this dependence, there is little time for ordinary communication, so gradually it happens
    emotional breakdown in relationships with real people - family, children, friends, work and
    studies recede into the background.

    Internet addiction symptoms:

    * You feel great joy before each new session, and without Internet access you feel sad and
    despondency.
    * Do not pull you by the ears from the monitor, and under no pretext do not lure you out into the street.
    * You do not go to visit, you rarely meet with friends, i.e. you are slowly losing contact with people offline.
    * You constantly update your social media page, often check your e-mail, your dating account, etc.
    * Discuss computer topics even with people who are barely versed in the field.
    * You lose track of time. Looking for a few minutes on the case, you hang on the network for several hours
    and do not notice how rapidly time flies by.
    * When surfing the Internet, you forget about official duties, studies, household chores, meetings and
    agreements.
    * Websites you visit not in order to find the information you need, but go to them aimlessly and mechanically.
    * Spend a lot of money on the internet, as well as ensuring constant updates, as different
    computer devices and software. You are also trying to hide it from loved ones.
    * At the physiological level, you feel the consequences of prolonged sitting at the computer: pain in the eyes,
    joint aches, disturbed sleep and eating habits.
    * You are experiencing the influence of information from the network on your psychological well-being - negative news or
    Messages trigger negative emotions in you, such as rage, sadness, or anxiety.
    * You notice how people close to you are increasingly beginning to express their outrage at the fact that you are too much
    spend time on the Internet. And this is a clear sign of Internet addiction. The most excessive
    passion for the internet

    And our children suffer the most from this ...

    How can one be treated for this?

    Unsurprisingly, Internet Addiction Treatment
    became part of the income of psychologists and psychiatrists, because
    people with unhealthy cravings for the "world wide web"
    getting bigger and bigger. Dependence on
    the Internet affects both men and women,
    both young (mostly) and adults
    citizens, and their number is only growing every year.
    Inability to get rid of yourself
    Internet addiction leads unaware of
    such negative consequences of online life
    users to medical institutions where their
    are being treated for mental disorders that have become
    an expression of affection for the Internet, not from
    Internet addiction, since the diagnosis of "Internet addiction" in the world practice has not yet
    exist.
    However, China has the first clinic for treatment
    Internet addiction appeared back in 2005,
    patients are prescribed electroshock - a device
    supplying the body with a voltage of thirty volts.
    Such treatment of Internet addiction does not find
    understanding in the world, and even some local doctors
    against the use of electric shock, especially if it is
    concerns the treatment of children.

    But let's get to the bottom line: How can you overcome addiction yourself?

    First of all. To start fighting Internet addiction, you must first of all recognize that
    the problem exists and to understand that no one will help you get rid of it.
    Secondly. Return to real life and forget about the existence of the Internet for a few days. Where
    entrance, there is an exit! Go out into nature more often, meet friends, visit various
    events, remember a long-forgotten hobby, start playing sports, read an interesting
    book, etc.
    Thirdly. Gradually reduce the time spent on the network until this "infection" leaves you. Soon you
    notice how the urge to spend time online will gradually diminish. And in the end you are her
    win.

    "Computer addiction of children" Teacher - speech therapist I.L. Grekova. MBDOU D / S combined type No. 6 MO "Akhtubinsky District"

    The term "computer addiction" defines a person's pathological addiction to work or spending time at the computer. It is an obsessive desire to turn on the computer and the inability to turn it off. A person is able to spend in virtual reality from 5 to 20 hours a day.

    The main symptoms of computer addiction are: Irresistible craving for playing, programming, computer-related work, Addiction to searching for information on the network, Excessive passion for the so-called Internet surfing, that is, clicking on links from site to site. An obsessive desire to play online games, make purchases exclusively in online stores, The desire to frequently check your mailbox. Constant expectation of the moment when it will be possible to sit down at the computer, Depressed mood, irritability and depression in the event that it cannot be done, Pathological hobby for chats, forums and social networks. In the most advanced cases, the addicted person stops paying attention to his appearance, hygiene needs and the need to eat.

    How to recognize addiction? Passion for computer games really interferes with your child's communication and learning; Torn away from play, the child is anxious, does not find a place for himself, does not know what to do; The hobby lasts a long time, much longer than the time it takes to complete one or two favorite games.

    What are the reasons? The stunning similarity between a computer game and fantasy is the first and main reason due to which the fusion of a child's consciousness and a computer game occurs. Any child seeks to control his life, and this desire is satisfied in computer games. The game is a simplified imitation of reality, in which the variety of factors and randomness are reduced to the minimum necessary, so learning to control the game is easier than life. If the child does not have his own "territory" or it is too small for him, then it is much easier for him to remain at the previous stage - fantasy. Excessive enthusiasm for computer games is a lack of experience in managing your own life.

    Think about the behavior of your children if: They remember their ICQ number, external and internal IP addresses by heart, but you have to chase your mother's home number or cell number using your notebook. They refuse offers to take a walk - all in order to chat on irc or sit on the forums. When they wake up, they first turn on the computer and only then go to the kitchen to put the kettle on. It is easier for them to call friends by their nicknames on the Web, and not by their first names, and they do not really know their last names. When recording the teacher's speech, they put emoticons, and automatically make notes on the notebook and in the brain "offtopic".

    What to do? It should be remembered that a child for whom the main motto of life is "no!" - most likely will go to his invented world, and if there is a computer game, he will go into it. Give your child the opportunity to be independent. Teach your child to manage himself and the independence entrusted to him. Promote as much variety as possible in the child's experience.

    How to prevent computer addiction? Limit your computer time. Try to protect a child from 3 to 5 years old from computer games, as this is the most crucial period in the development of the child's psyche. All children are prohibited from playing the computer before bed. Instill a culture of psychic self-regulation. Select and offer your baby good games. Build a relationship of trust with him so that he can get advice on what to play on the computer as he grows up. Games based on emotionally positive images contribute to the creative development and disclosure of the child's mental capabilities. Never let your child play in the computer club at night. Make sure that the hobby for the computer does not replace the live communication of the child with peers.

    The impact of the Internet on children. Internet addiction.

    We live in the modern XXI century, in which modernization and technical progress are constantly being carried out. One such technological breakthrough is the universal availability of the Internet. With the introduction of new technologies, not only positive aspects arise, but also negative ones. One such example is internet addiction. For the most part, it manifests itself in children and adolescents, tk. their psyche has not yet been formed, and they cannot control their addiction.

    Foreign psychologists began to sound the alarm about dependence on the Internet back in the mid-90s. Its main feature was called "an obsessive desire to enter the Internet and the inability to get out of it." The Internet has been called a means of escaping reality; search for information on the Web - information vampirism.

    After all, what could be better than a walk in the forest or in the park? Create an alternative for children to sit at the computer ... There are several types of Internet addiction. They are all divided according to what a person with an Internet addiction does on the Internet: Communication. A person constantly communicates in different ways on the Internet. Communication methods may vary, such as social media, forums, chat rooms, instant messengers, email, blogs. Entertainment. This includes the viewing of any content on the network. It can be various pictures, films, e-books, online games, network games. A separate category of people is trying to engage in moneymaking, or rather, to make money on the Internet.

    Some well-known psychologists believe that infomania (and, consequently, Internet addiction) can cause conditions similar in their symptoms to drug withdrawal. True, the person does not experience pain, he is simply in constant depression and cannot concentrate on performing current tasks.

    Why is the Internet so attractive? 1) Anonymity. A person in the network can and does show great freedom of speech and action (up to insults, obscene language, sexual harassment), since the risk of exposure and personal negative assessment by others is minimal. 2) Create an image. The originality of the processes of interpersonal perception in the absence of non-verbal information. As a rule, the mechanisms of stereotyping and identification, as well as setting as an expectation of the desired qualities in a partner, have a strong influence on the idea of \u200b\u200bthe interlocutor. 3) Voluntary and desirable contacts. The user voluntarily makes contacts or leaves them, and can also interrupt them at any time. 4) Lack of emotion. Difficulty in the emotional component of communication and, at the same time, a persistent desire for emotional content of the text, which is expressed in the creation of special icons to indicate emotions or in the description of emotions in words (in brackets after the main text of the message). 5) Desire for atypical, abnormal behavior. Often, users present themselves from a different perspective than in the conditions of a real social norm, they play roles, scenarios, and abnormal behavior that are not realized in activities outside the network.

    Loneliness of big cities Symptoms of Internet addiction in children often grow out of parenting. For more than 62% of Moscow parents, a child is a little god, over whom they tremble with fear - "what if something happens to him?" More than 65% of parents allow their children to use the Internet freely. Fear, protest (how often adolescents love with all their hearts those activities that their parents hate!) And a feeling of deep inner loneliness lead to a virtual world of miracles, where anyone can imagine himself as an incognito god, where family, educational and work problems are forgotten, fears are extinguished associated with deep personal experiences. In Moscow, people are more immersed in the Web than residents of small towns. Loneliness in a big city grows out of psychological alienation. Let's observe the passengers of the metro: to alienate them from their views, they have a book or a mobile, to alienate them from sounds - a player with headphones. We isolate ourselves from the world by all available means. The Internet is the apotheosis of alienation, it helps to isolate oneself from loved ones, allows not to solve emerging problems ... It is the compensatory function of the Internet that fascinates: after all, in this world of miracles, you can get what you will never get in life and become what you will never become in reality.

    Without the Internet, it is now impossible to imagine the full-fledged existence of a modern society, therefore, it is necessary to look for an alternative to solving the existing problem of Internet addiction in children.

    Parents should not ignore their children, then Internet addiction can be avoided. Communicate with your children constantly. It's never too late to tell your child how to act and react to other people's actions on the Internet. Children are attracted to the Internet by a variety of sites, social networks, where they can learn something new, but this "new" may not always be acceptable to the child. The resources of the Internet are not limited by anything for users, and therefore the child can learn something that he still does not need to know at all. Children visit porn sites at first out of curiosity, and then it becomes a habit, these habits that develop in a child as a result of his interaction with a computer in private, drastically spoil the psyche. Be friends with your own children, create an atmosphere in which they would like to spend more time with you, walk, rather than sit in a stuffy room at the computer.

    A survey of parents of ACDT (6 0 people) showed the following results: Do you have a computer at home? (yes - 100%). Does your child have an irresistible craving for play, computer-related work? Yes - 60% / no - 40%. How often does your child use a computer? (If necessary - 75% / computer works all day - 13% / does not use - 12%). Is your child familiar with the internet? (yes - 78% / no - 12%). “Constantly waiting for the moment when it will be possible to sit down at the computer” - is this typical for your child? (Yes - 27% / no - 73%). Is your child depressed, irritable, and depressed if you don't allow computer use? (Yes - 15% / No - 85%). Does your child pay attention to their appearance? (yes - 93% / no - 7%). Does your child's hobby for computer games interfere with communicating and learning (interferes 20% / does not interfere - 80%). Torn away from the game, your child: (worried, does not find a place for himself - 7% / does not know what to do - 20% / calmly reacts to the situation - 73%). How many games does your child play? (one - two - 50% / more than two - 38% / does not play - 12%). Does your child willingly agree to go out with friends or refuse an offer - all in order to communicate on the Internet? (agrees - 93% / refuses - 7%) .. Having woken up, your child first turns on the computer and only then goes to wash, have breakfast? (yes -15% / no - 85%).

    But you cannot say that the Internet is evil, no. The Internet is undoubtedly an important invention of humankind, which has helped society to step forward. The whole world revolves around the Internet.

    Positive features of the Internet are time saving; a way to show, to prove yourself, to find old friends whom you lost long ago, the ability to make phone calls, make purchases, the presence of huge libraries of all kinds of literature; the opportunity to learn a lot, get a profession, or raise your skills to a different level; get the latest news on a narrow or broad topic; chats and ICQ make it possible to communicate in real time.
