Spending your free time on the Internet can be fun. You can chat, share photos with friends, and play online games. But some people are addicted to the Internet. They just can’t turn it off.
Being online for many hours at a time does not mean you have a problem. The

met in real life. Some also play online games all day or night. Some people with Internet
addictions even leave their jobs so they can spend even more time online! People with

online lives.

goal is to teach people to use the Internet for good reasons and not just as an escape.
