Kecanduan Internet

Beberapa waktu yang lalu saya menulis artikel tentang kecanduan Internet. Dari berbagai sumber yang saya dapatkan, yang disebut kecanduan Internet adalah:

  • Menghabiskan waktu lebih banyak dari semestinya untuk surfing di internet.
  • Bermasalah dalam membatasi waktu berinternet.
  • Teman atau keluargamu mulai mengeluh bahwa kamu sudah terlalu sering berada di depan komputer.
  • Sulit untuk menghindar internet selama beberapa hari.
  • Pekerjaan dan kehidupan sosial sempat terganggu akibat terlalu lama/sering berinternet.
  • Ada situs khusus atau layanan tertentu di internet yang membuatmu sulit menahan godaan untuk berinternet

Masalahnya..
David Greenfield, seorang psikolog di Amerika, menemukan sekitar 6% dari pengguna internet mengalami kecanduan. Orang-orang tersebut mengalami gejala yang sama dengan kecanduan obat bius, yaitu lupa waktu dalam berinternet.

Kebanyakan orang yang kecanduan internet ini dikarenakan mereka menemukan kepuasan di internet, yang tidak mereka dapatkan di dunia nyata. Kebanyakan mereka terperangkap pada aktivitas negatif seperti games, judi dan sex online.

Nah... saya merasa alasan tersebut belum terlalu mewakilkan kenyataan. Ada banyak kasus, orang yang kecanduan internet bukan pada aktivitas yang negatif. Mungkin dia hanya surfing internet ke berbagai situs, ingin tahu berbagai hal baru, mendownload berbagai program, dst.

Bagaimana menurut anda?

    "BREAKING NEWS"
    ===============

    -Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
    the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
    REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

    These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
    be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

    Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
    Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
    make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

    the wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
    as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
    the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
    time to replant and develop new root systems.

    Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
    with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
    growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

    Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
    As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
    EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
    about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

    Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
    Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
    Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

    Conclusion:

    The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
    known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
    This stock will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
    Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!
