Is Technology Addictive
60 Answers
Could you live without the internet and all its associated trappings (FB, Twitter, Skype, AB etc)?
Theres a lot of research that's associated dopamine production in the brain with a reliance on todays technology.
I see a lot of people that seem to spend an inordinate amount of time both on here and FB. (and I'm not excluding myself, I KNOW that I spend to much of my spare time on social media) But I do try to curb it a bit. Nevertheless the internet *IS* addictive. Or is it just me?
I sometimes long for the days when people actually spoke to each other rather than having their noses buried in their phones.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Technology certainly is addictive. Just look at the number of people who have their eyes glued to a mobile phone in waiting rooms, on buses, etc. Children as young as 4 or 5 are being shown how to use computers in schools, and they will grow up believing that if it isn't on a screen of some sort, then it isn't real.
Why do many older folk think that whenever the younger lot have their noses in a Phone, tablet or laptop it’s about social media? Yes social media is used by 99% of the younger generation and even the older lot who ARE NOT technophobes BUT....I AND many People use the Internet for different things, learning new languages, doing a course, the theory test, emails, curiosity about something that pops into your head, directions, job searching, recipes,films, tv’s, jokes news, online banking, booking holidays, checking your investments, competitions and the list goes on ALL whilst having social media apps in which if anyone posts anything of interest to you you’ll get an immediate notification which is what our //we want it all, right now//generation wants and receives.
We’ve never had it so good technology wise.
