YouTube video transcript

all right Emily in this video let's talk about internet addiction is there something like that or it's all in our minds I believe that you really can be addicted to the Internet it's this vast Vortex almost of information and conspiracies and knowledge and there's just everything's so jumbled up that you can easily get sucked into it I really

believe it so how would you define it though you mentioned there is a lot of information out there a lot of information that is very useful very critical but how would you define that I mean a lot of people maybe they're working on the internet that's what they do they develop web pages or whatever is

that an addiction could it be yes no I feel like when it's your job it's one thing but when let's say you're off the clock and you can't get off of the internet you're stuck to Facebook or reading the news or surfing the web for who knows what that that can be a

problem what about binge watching like with Netflix or something like that watching you know 10 episodes in a row maybe sometimes we need that I feel like that's okay once in a while but then you're kind of you're also Crossing into binge watching TV like a TV addiction versus an internet addiction then TV addiction's been

around a lot longer than the internet I mean I think it's a situation where okay let's say you're gonna go camping and you can't live without your device I can see there are benefits to having those devices but as you mentioned I think where it becomes a real unhealthy practice where you can't think you know

separate yourself from your device I think that's what we're talking about right yeah all right thank you Emily for your thoughts on this topic
