The definition of Computer Addiction
January 31st, 2009 by the writerNow, in the strictest sense, according to one dictionary/thesaurus definition, addiction is described as ìfixation, inclination, bent; see habit, obsessionî. This description certainly does not connote a rabid personality, engulfed in an obsession which takes over their lives. The word, fixation, is ambiguous. You may have a fixation on achieving your goals. This is, rhetorically, not synonymous with addiction. The word, inclination, is much more mild. You may have an inclination to have a spotless home environment. This doesn’t mean that you exercise that inclination. The word, bent, is most ambiguous. You may be bent on not wasting food, but still, it happens. So how does the term, Computer Addiction, fit into your life and the popular psychology?
