Almost everyone uses the Internet these days. It's a very useful invention. In fact, some people think the Internet is the most important invention ever.
People surf the Internet for information, movies, and music. They study and read books. They play games. They talk with friends on social media websites like Facebook or Twitter.
However, some people are addicted to the Internet. In other words, they use the Internet too much and cannot stop. For these people, they don't go outside, do chores, or meet with friends because the Internet is more exciting. They feel uncomfortable when they cannot surf the Internet or check email. In fact, about 6% of people are addicted, and it is a very serious problem.
