The Internet is one of the most powerful dynamics shaping our social, intellectual, and moral spheres. This interconnected system of networks that joins computers around the world has emerged as a potent and intoxicating enabler of individual competency and knowledge. As a continuously evolving space, the Internet empowers individuals with immediate information and opportunities to collaborate, engage, and participate. Technology constructed from the utility and popularity of using the Internet has manufactured a transition from limited learning pathways to an assembly of multi-literacies in education. In business, the transition has been manufactured with effective tools for improving productivity and increasing operational efficiency. However, while advancement in technology is vesting a great deal of positive opportunity to individuals, it is simultaneously revealing a developing technological and social trend toward habitual or compulsive online behavior.
