Self-diagnosis of information addiction

In the age of information explosion, people’s absorption of information is increasing by a square number, but human thinking patterns are not yet well adjusted to accept such a large amount of information, resulting in a series of self-imposed compulsions and tensions. It is in this context that the term “information addiction” was coined. “Information addiction” is most common among highly educated people between the ages of 25 and 40. The specific symptoms are that they spend a lot of time every day browsing the Internet for information, reading newspapers and magazines, but they are still unsure of themselves and feel that they have missed information. People who work closely with information are most likely to suffer from “information addiction”. In terms of daily life, people who watch TV and listen to radio continuously every day, and people who spend every day in the library or surfing the Internet for information are prone to anxiety. In terms of occupation, journalists, advertisers, informers, webmasters, intelligence officers, eavesdroppers, spies, etc. are all at high risk for this disorder. Self-diagnosis of information addiction: 1. Do you check if your cell phone is on and if there are any short messages or missed calls as soon as you open your eyes? 2. Do you turn on your computer and surf the Internet as soon as you wake up? 3.Do you buy more than three different newspapers every day? 4.Do you spend most of your time on the Internet, reading newspapers and magazines, and collecting information every day? 5.Do you get anxious when you forget your cell phone? 6.When there is a problem with the Internet and you can’t browse the web, do you feel restless? If you have one or two of these, you have the tendency of “information addiction”, if you have four or more, you have “information addiction”.
