Unit 1 Internet and other addictions

A person can develope an addiction to certain activities, such as gambling, as well as cell phone and social media use, food or eating, Internet, porn, sex, shopping, Video games etc. The  compulsiveness of using or engaging in those activities  is what's called an addiction.
