Academic performance 

Internet addiction has greatly affected teenager's academic performance. Time consuming. Since internet consumes lot of time, students don't find any time left to study. According to Oberlin College Computer Science (n.d.), college students turn their studying time into internet time, causing a massive decrease with their grades. Top students become then average ones. The internet controls their life (para. 3). Thus, all the wasted time would be spent on social networking such as facebook, twitter, or on playing online games. Moreover, the time unit to internet addicts will be lost. They will get so involved on the internet, that they actually forget their clocks! Oberlin College Computer Science (n.d.) points out that the internet addict loses the track of time, thus acquires "technostress" from the accelerated hours passed on the internet without any logical thinking (para. 2). Internet absorbs all the intelligence a human being possesses; it also consumes his whole time without any fear.
