Computer
addiction can affect well-being of student
BOSTON (U-WIRE) — The high-speed Internet lines found in nearly
every dorm room and residence on campus can be a blessing for students
whose
computers are a central tool for communication and schoolwork.
For
other students, the computer becomes more than a tool — it
becomes an addiction.
Computer
addiction interferes with sleep cycles, time devoted to homework
and hurts relations with friends, according to Dr. Maressa Hecht
Orzack, a Harvard University psychologist and founder of the Computer
Addiction Services at McLean Hospital in Belmont.
Students
who develop a computer addiction tend to be bored, shy or unable
to handle their first time away from home, so they turn to the computer
to interact with familiar friends, Orzack said.
