Read the passage given below:
1.The term Internet Addiction (IA) was first introduced in 1996 by Goldberg, who related it to substance dependence. IA can be defined as the maladaptive pattern of internet use which is time-consuming and leads to clinically significant impairment or distress. The symptoms of IA include tolerance, withdrawal, and lack of control, relapse, and a large amount of time spent online. Internet Addiction generally consists of four elements namely, excessive use, withdrawal, tolerance and negative social repercussions.
2. Considering the recent report on the addiction of internet in India, in 2018, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) claimed that the number of people visiting with the complaints of internet addiction has almost doubled since the launch of the facility two years ago. It is not only about the internet but is the symptomatic expression of other psychological problems such as anger, low self-esteem, isolation and depression. World Health Organisation (WHO) in June 2018 classified gaming disorder as a mental health condition, thus establishing the concern for the technology-oriented era on people. Further, as per the news, a London Hospital is also preparing to launch the first-ever internet addiction centre for young people and adults funded by the National Health Service (NHS).
3.Smartphones represent the edge of the evolution of information technology. As per the New Zoom's Global Market Report 2018, smartphone penetration in India is 28-5%, which constitutes 386,934,000 smartphone users.
4. The survey indicated the presence of addiction for 1-3% for internet (2% males and 0-6% females) and mobile phone overuse (419%-2-5% males and 1-5% females)
5. Recent researches have shown a positive correlation between internet addiction and frequent use of smartphones, indicating a higher frequency of internet-based use of smartphone applications, priority being social networking sites and gaming applications.
6. As more and more people are getting involved in the internet and are getting addicted, thus, they have adopted the practice of "Internet fasting" by deliberately spending time offline. Internet fasting can be defined as the re-evaluation of one's lifestyle to learn appropriate ways to use the internet by maintaining the distance from digital life. (350 words)
