| Computer’s Harm |  The attributes of Internet communications include:
• ease of access and 24 hour availability;
• the wide range of diverse personal connections possible;
• the hyperpersonal nature of interpersonal relationships;
• the ability to witness others interacting;
• the uninhibited nature of no risk relating.
These factors are not enough to explain true harm of using computer. Some additional qualities inherent in the user must be present that distinguish those for whom Internet connexions are a passionate past-time from those for whom this activity becomes a compulsion resulting in loss.
The possible emotions are comprehensible as virtual community involvement's dissolve geographic borders and expand the ability of people with common interests to share ideas important to them.
The nature of addiction is to continue to pursue the initial excitement one received, at the risk of other social involvement's and responsibilities.
Using computers for a long time can cause distress. Such use is very harmful. It affects on the physical, psychological, interpersonal, marital, economic and social functioning of the person.
