When you first hear the term internet addiction, you may smile and think this new term is a joke. Okay, so maybe people do waste a lot of time on the internet. But how can that be such a bad thing?

Yet, internet addiction can be a serious problem. Like many addictions, it is a compulsive disorder. First, take the word addiction itself. Addiction means that you are dependent on something, it is taking up a lot of your time. Now think about the time one can waste on the internet. Okay, so an hour here and there isn't a bad thing. But if a person is addicted to the internet they will be online longer than just an hour and it won't just be an event that happens occasionally, being online is something they do daily for hours on end. This addiction can lead to time away from family and friends. It can even led to time that should be spent at work.

Internet addiction can be further explained into subcategories, too. One may not just be addicted to the internet. One can get addicted to certain activities that perform while on the internet such as: online auctions, online chat rooms, online surfing, online gaming, and this addiction can even led to more serious online problems such as online gambling and online cybersex.

How do you know if you have a problem? You should start by looking at your internet habits. Then ask yourself such questions as: How often are you online? Does being online ever interfere with your work or home duties and if so how often does it? How often do you check your email? Do people in your home complain about how often you are online? Do you continue to search out new online friends? When you are not online do you anticipate when you can go back online? Do you get annoyed when someone interrupts you while you are online? Do you loose sleep because you are online late at night? Do you ever hide the length of time you were online?

The answer to the above questions can indicate that you have a problem. If you think you do, what should you do? Like with any other health problem, you may want to consider counseling. If you can't afford counseling, you may want to check out some websites that offers some help.

It may seem strange that there are websites that help with online addiction. Yet, if you think about it online websites may be the best place for online addiction sufferer to seek help. A great site is netaddiction.com. At this site, they further explain what online addiction is. They also have online self tests you can take, to see if you have a problem and to see just how deep your problem is. They also offer advice for more serious online problems such as online gambling and online cybersex activities. They even have chat rooms where recovering addicts and family members of recovering addicts can come together and share.

Should one avoid the internet for fear of getting addicted, no? The internet is a wonderful tool. You can learn a lot online. Plus, it is a great place to just relax and have fun. But moderation is the key in any activity, including the internet.

Parents should also monitor their children to make sure that they are not becoming addicted to the internet. Some children, especially teenagers, have problems building friendships and relationships. You don't want your child's only friendships to be on the internet.

The internet and your online friends should not take the place of real life and real life people. If you remember that one sentence, you will continue to enjoy the internet in a healthy way.

Nintendo Wii Review - Part 4 of 5 - At Last a Look Into the Nintendo Wii Starter Bundle

Since its launch in 2005, the Nintendo Wii has been the leading gaming system surpassing its main competitors in both volume of units sold and popularity among users. The main distinguishing feature of the Wii is a wireless controller. The controller, called the Wii Remote can be used as a pointing device. It can also detect movement and thus broadens the gaming applications a user will be able to operate. The remote is included in the Nintendo Wii Starter Bundle.

Aside from the Remote Wii, the Nintendo Wii Starter Bundle also includes the Wii console, the Wii Nunchuk, Wii Sensor Bar with removable stand, Wii console stand that allows the console to be in a vertical position, Wii AC power Adapter, Wii AV Cable with RCA connectors, and initial game pack which is the Wii Sports Disc.

The console measures 8.5" long, 6" wide, and is just less than 2" in thickness. An IBM PowerPC CPU and an ATI custom GPU are the processors that power this machine. The Wii console can link to four Wii Remotes, your TV set, and to your router for wireless connection to the Internet. Controller ports and Memory Card slots enable backward compatibility with all Nintendo Game Cube games. The console also has a slot for an SD memory card.

The Nintendo Wii has four controllers but only three are included in the Nintendo Wii Starter Bundle. These are the Wii Remote, the Wii Nunchuk, and the Wii Sensor Bar. The Wii Remote is basically a remote control equipped with motion-sensors. The motion sensors allow more user physical interaction with the game. For example, in tennis games the user can play tennis realistically by using the remote as a tennis racket. The remote also has a speaker, rumble feature, and extension connector for other devices. The Wii Nunchuk has motion sensors, two buttons and a control stick. It is connected to the Wii Remote for games that need additional actions. The Wii Sensor Bar allows the Wii Remote to determine its location and distance relative to the TV. It can be used with up to four Wii Remotes to a maximum distance of ten feet. The Wii also uses a classic controller for old-school games but is not included in the starter bundle.

The Wii Sports Disc is an initial collection of games that is included in the Nintendo Wii Starter Bundle. With this collection, first time users can enjoy and familiarize themselves with the gaming system and controls. Designed to appeal to people of all ages and skill levels, anyone can enjoy a game of tennis, baseball, boxing, bowling, and golf. With the Wii Remote, you feel like you're playing these games in the field or in the arena but in the comforts of your living room. You can literally swing a tennis racket, golf club, or baseball bat. You can roll a ball just as you would in a bowling alley. You can even practice your boxing moves realistically. With these games in the starter bundle, it won't be long before you check out other games you can enjoy playing with the Nintendo Wii.
