Four hundred pounds of bedridden mass, but not free from the Internet. Wrappers cover the floor and flies cover wrappers, but not enough to rid them of the Internet. The bed springs screech with every sudden movement, at least if they can move, but the springs never fail, forcing them to get rid of the Internet. An asteroid from outer space might blast right through their front door, but even that, this one-in-a-million chance event, could never get the four-hundred-pound addicted man or woman to kick the internet , which is highly addictive. As the bright light of the screen shines on the fat hanging from their thick lips, they fail to see their self-harming ways. This is an abuse of a tool capable of bringing information to people like no other.

The terrible side effects of an Internet addiction are numerous: anxiety, depression, stress, social incompetence, weight loss, weight gain, and lack of sleep... middle of paper ...... your men and women hundred pounds, a lazy stay-at-home mother-in-law and a worker who prefers to browse the Internet rather than work are these lazy people. These are people who let the Web dictate their lives; they fail to be responsible and discipline themselves. Look up from the screen and smell the roses. Otherwise, get up and do some work. It's healthier and probably more rewarding than wasting time on the Internet. However, don't think the Internet is terrible; it has much to offer the world and will only become a more ingrained part of our lives. Get rid of the Internet, even if just for a moment, and do something productive. Works Cited Brandt, Michelle. “Internet Addiction: Too Much of a Good Thing? » Stanford University. October 18, 2006.
