Are you addicted to the internet? Can you bear to live without being online?
Il you want to stop your internet addiction, you can start setting time limits, reduce the number of social networks, and turn the phone off at bed time.
For setting time limits, you can make a plan for do it, but you have to tell yourself the amount of the time that you can spend surfing the internet. This time, you can use it to do other activities, like read some books, do a sport, or go out with your friends. This is better than staying at home doing nothing, only stay sitting playing with your computer without going out and live real life.
To reduce the number of social networks, you must only have one account of each social network and do not have all, of them, only those that you know that you are going to use. They also have to be useful for you. You must not have 5 accounts for gmail or for Instagram. Because with that you waste your time seeing all your accounts and all the messages when you can see it one time and not 5, for example.
And to finish, the best thing to do at night is to turn off the phone. The phone at night does not help you to sleep. It has the opposite effect. It keeps you awake. When you use it during the night, at the end, you go to sleep later because you are "active" using the phone. The next day, you will be sleepy and will not do all the things that you have to do, with the same amount of energy that you usually do.
As a conclusion, you need to spend less time on internet and you should use this time ( that you do not spend on internet) doing interesting things, having fun, and building relationships with friends and family.

i totaly agree with your ideas because it is we should spend more time with our family and our pets and care more about our children. and the idea of turning of the phone in the night is very important because a phone can produce a lot of radiation and its realy not good for our health . put a limit to use the phone is not that useful because if one person plays with the phone people will forget about the time and play often and often but thanks for your article it was very interesting .
