We all know that the internet can be a great tool, but it can also be a huge time suck. According to recent studies, people are spending over 3 hours a day, that is more than a month on the Internet each year. And for some people, that’s become an addiction.

According to Safetydetectives, Norton 360 Deluxe is the best system for tracking kids’ devices and time spent online. But getting a tool alone will not solve the underlying problem of addiction that a teenager may have. Speaking with an internet security expert to sensitize the teenager on the benefits and risks of using the internet can really help in dealing with the problem.

Furthermore, anyone can develop internet addiction such as watching adult content, gaming, or spending excessive amounts of time on social media platforms such as Instagram or TikTok. Addiction to the internet is similar to drug addiction. Stopping it takes more effort. Anyone who is addicted to the Internet requires additional assistance, which may include changing the environment that primes you to spend time on the device/platform, staying away from the phone, or using a system that reminds you to stop.

The best way to deal with internet addiction is to be proactive and take steps to reduce our time online.

Here are some habits you can learn to reduce Internet addiction:

1) Set limits on your time online.

Decide how much time you’re going to spend each day (or week) on the internet and stick to it. This will help you avoid getting sucked into hours of mindless scrolling.

2) Use a timer or app to track your progress and stay accountable.

You can also set goals for yourself like reading for 30 minutes or writing for an hour without distractions from the internet.

3) Remove distractions from your environment so you’re not tempted to go online (e.g., turn off notifications).

4) Disconnect from electronics before bedtime.

This will help ensure quality sleep and reduce stress levels caused by blue light exposure from screens late at night..

5) Talk openly about any struggles with technology addiction with friends or family members who might be able to offer support.

6) . Find other hobbies that keep you away from the Internet.

Make sure you’re getting enough exercise and fresh air. Spending too much time indoors can make it harder to resist the lure of the internet. Make sure you have other activities or hobbies that you enjoy outside of the internet so you don’t rely on it as your only source of enjoyment/entertainment
