Internet nowadays

Nowadays is impossible to think about a house without access to internet. You can see on the street people selling these “connections packages” with super cheap promotions. Internet is part of your life. Internet is a drug.

According to Cambridge´s dictionary the first definition of drug is related to any substance that you consume. Consequently global policy do not consider internet as a drug because it is not being consumed by your body.

On the other hand, studies have shown that you spend 70% of your daily hours surfing the internet. The third definition of drug, according Cambridge´s dictionary, is related to anything that makes you dependent on.         You may think that the Internet is not being “consumed” literally by your body. But internet dominates your brain. In theory is being consumed.

In conclusion, I really consider that something is wrong. If we spend more of the half of our day online. I think global policy should take some actions in some way. This is beyond the actual “illicit drugs” (that people consider). Internet is a silence, powerful, and even dangerous drug.
