ADDICTION – The fact or condition of been addicted to a particular
substance or activity with the need or strong desire to have that which liking
has been created towards.
Addictions come in different
forms from Music, reading, playing video games and so on but we want to focus
on something serious though we never take it too serious, this is Addiction to
TV (Gadgets).
Now the television is a means of
getting information, entertainment and a whole lot more. It plays a very good
role in our today society, but what happens when it turns to our daily routine
or life style, what happens when we cannot stop ourselves from watching TV,
this I believe brings us to what is called TV Addiction.
According to Wikipedia, Addiction is a brain disorder
characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse
consequences. In other words, Addiction is a disorder of the brains reward
system which arises through transcriptional and epigenetic organisms and occurs
over time from chronically high levels of exposure to an addictive stimulus
e.g., gambling, drug, alcohol, music, sexual intercourse etc.
Looking
at II Perseverance as little things matters a lot we would notice how addiction
affected an innocent girl’s life which left her the way she is today I really
encourage you all too kindly put her in your prayers. Going back to our course
of today TV Addiction as well as electronic gadgets, looking closely we would
find out that we watch more of TV than we relate with real with our society at
large and as such killing our ability to socialize, stand an audience, be out
spoken and some other adverse effects as a matter of fact it’s obvious to know
that we lose more than we gain sitting and watching TV. Yes I agree it helps
fight boredom, it helps combat loneliness but as they say too much of
everything is not good if your only result in times like this is on gadgets
what then happens when you find yourself without these things? I was talking to
a friend the other day, he said “if I don’t use my phone for a month I would
just Die” gush that nearly broke my heart I wanted to judge him by saying that
was bad and I realized that I also fall victim of this, in the sense that if I
don’t give out post I feel very uncomfortable within myself, restlessness takes
the day invariable I have discovered that we all have our own separate
addictions, small or big the only difference is that we are addicted to
different things entirely but is this really a good development no matter how
good your addiction may seem to be you and I are addicts to something.
In further discussions we would
be looking at the various ways to curb addictions and mind you your
