Internet Addiction Syndrome

Understandable definition can explain Internet as a global tcp/ip network linking millions of computers for communication purposes. Internet users can exchange e-mail, participate in newsgroups, send files from any computer to another using ftp, retrieve information via hypertext transfer protocol(http) and even, with appropriate passwords, use each other's computers through Telnet. The most popular aspect of the Internet is the world wide web. Inexpensive and easy-to-use software now allows anyone to set up a web site, and many commercial companies use such sites to advertise and/or sell products online.
