Addiction can be wrong on so many levels. The difference of addictions, in my opinion, is non existent. The current trend or addiction is something we all have today, use and need. It is the digital addiction. Unfortunately digital addiction has spread globally. This addiction might have consequences that are unwanted.
The modern day and the systems used currently are surrounded by digital technologies. The thing is, people are being exposed to digital technologies outside of their consent. Every time people are exposed to digital technologies they normalize the usage of them and show tendency in using more of those digital technologies. It is vital to limit the usage of digital entertainment systems throughout our society and only use digital technologies in necessary places for a necessary amount. People should not be victims of an addiction that they do not want, and people should be educated on this matter.
Individuals should keep track on what they are using for how much. They should ask for help in a case of addiction signs. The individuals should understand that the usage of electronic and digital devices are close to mandatory at this point in time but there should be a very careful inspection on the amount.
The next thing is public awareness. We might not know what we call an addiction is an addiction until someone tells us so. This means that unless someone other than us tells us that the over usage of electronic devices is we will not consider it as an addiction. Governments can help raise awareness through media and or education in centers and schools. Both might be used but teaching and educating people in person will be more effective as communication is better when you feel a sense of human.
The last thing individuals can do to stop digital addiction is getting rid of shame. There should be zero shame in telling that you are addicted to something as long as you are willing to change and make a difference for the better.
To sum things up, people should not be afraid of seeking help and reaching out to people. Raising awareness through campaigns and media will also be helpful. Finally limiting the usage of digital technologies will also be effective.
