The iHIgh:
Recognizing
the
emerging
addiction
our world
has to
technology
By: Meghan
Froebelius
One reason people use Facebook, Twitter, and
other social networking websites regularly is
“because of an addiction to endorphins released
in the body during the process of posting.”

Every notification
could mean
something exciting.
This results in a hit
of dopamine. Source: Facebook Psychology: Is Addiction
Affecting Our Minds? (Infographic) presented by Best Masters in Psychology
“Each ‘hit’ feeds our social
media addiction.”

Affecting Our Minds? (Infographic) presented by Best Masters in Psychology
The chemicals give
us a feeling of
REWARD that
rushes through
the brain and body
with every
notification.This
reward becomes
something we
CRAVE.

Repeatedly checking social media creates an
addiction similar to using coke, meth, or other
abusive substances.This creates
the iHigh.

Actually, Internet
Addiction Disorder (IAD)
is now an accepted
psychological diagnosis in
China, Taiwan, and South
Korea.

America will follow in 2013.

Someone with IAD will be
constantly preoccupied with
the internet and will have an
increasingly higher tolerance
against the ‘high’.

They will also use the internet to
boost their mood.

Some “argue that their
dependence is
actually beneficial,
since it lets them be more
productive professionally.”
Being constantly
connected lets you
respond quickly to things
such as “work emails,
making you a more
valuable employee
than your non-addicted
colleague.”

But a chemical reaction isn’t the only reason
for an online addiction.
Photo via Flickr commons by katerha
One reason for
online indulgence is
because of the need for
VALIDATION
in our lives.

“The world of social media has allowed platforms like
Facebook and Twitter to play on the HUMAN NEED for
reinforcement and validation. It’s game mechanics for
“Likes” and “Comments” are those bits of validation.”
-Hessie Jones
Source: Hessie Jones, Teaching Our Kids Not to Treat the Internet as a Private Diary
“I like ... my voice being heard
somewhere where people care, so I make it
heard in an environment with users who will ...
read what I have to say solely out of interest.
Doing so brings me ... joy, that people care
or agree with the things I say, that I really
can’t get anywhere else.”
-Anonymous Internet User
Photo via Flickr commons by Johan Larsson Source: Jami Oetting, Smells Like Teen Spirit: Schooling Marketers on Tumblr
But, regardless of the
reason for it, like any
addiction the iHigh will
eventually have negative
repercussions.
Photo via Flickr commons from OSU Special Collections
“I get that kids need validation but this world of social has
created an environment that eventually strings them
along a path to a point where the very information they
created can be their greatest demise.”

“Internet
addicts
have
10-20%
smaller
brain areas
responsible for
speech,
memory,
motor
control,
emotion,
sensory, and
other
information.”
Photo via Flickr commons by auxesis
The more connected we become with our
virtual reality, the less connected we
become to our actual reality.
Photo via Flickr commons by Susan NYC
“The problem is that
internet is too
much a part of
business, society,
and education to
quit cold turkey
for most people.”
Photo via Flickr commons by Johan Larsson
Source: Facebook Psychology: Is Addiction Affecting Our Minds? (Infographic)
presented by Best Masters in Psychology
We need to start educating about the reality of this addiction
and start preaching how just like most things,
TECHNOLOGY IS BEST USED IN MODERATION.
Photo via Flickr commons by betsyweber
“When it starts to intrude
on your overall well-being,
or sanity, or it takes
precedence over time
with your kids or
spouse, then it
might be time to
CUT BACK.”
