Internet Addiction: A Review of Associated Health Hazards

With the invention of the microprocessor circa 1970, humanity was catapulted into the Information Age. Following Moore’s Law, the microprocessor has essentially doubled in complexity, capacity, and capability every two years since that time. As a result, today’s personal computer is vastly more powerful than the mainframe supercomputers of decades past. This radical increase in computing power, coupled with an explosion in Internet bandwidth and access technology, availability, and online services represents the 21 Century equivalent of the Industrial Revolution, in terms of productivity, commerce, and change in lifestyle.
