Addictions to Technology Gone Wrong

    Can people be addicted to technology? Can technology addiction get in the way of your every day life? Can they get in the way of school or work? Can they ruin relationships? I interviewed a couple people recently about their own personal addictions to technology and I got different responses and experiences from them.  Some didn't have a problem with their addictions, but some did. Some of the people i interviewed said that their addictions didn't get in the way of their everyday life, that they didn't see it as a problem. While the others said that it totally did. They put their addiction before school. They went from doing bad in school to having trouble at home. Addiction is a bad thing, no doubt about, its just sometimes they affect some more than others. A small video game addiction is harmless as long as it doesn't get in the way of the essentials. But being a full blown addict can be harmful, and it can interfere with school, family, and friendship.
