Hi Everyone,

We just went through a video on the internet on Cyber Addiction. When I was younger, and even up to now, I love to use the computer to surf the internet and play games. How about you? Are you addicted to the computer?

To help you write your reflection, I have listed some questions below:

1. How many hours a day do you spend on the computer?

2. Are you addicted to the computer? If 'yes', how do you become addicted to it? If 'no', how have you managed to remain unaddicted?

3. How has this addiction affect you daily life/routine? (If you're not addicted to the computer, you need not answer this question)

4. Is your school work affected by the time you spend on the computer? Elaborate.

5. What can you do to prevent Cyber Addiction?

6. What advice would you give to your friend who is addicted to computer games?

I hope to read your reflection soon.
