People are hooked on cell phones, social media and the Internet are showing symptoms similar to drug and alcohol addictions, according to a new study.

Researchers at the University of Maryland who asked 200 people to give up all media for one full day found that after 24 hours many showed signs of withdrawal, craving and anxiety along with an inability to function well without their media and social links.

I will support enthusiasm because passion, devotion or eagerness of an occupation, activity, or pursuit in which such interest is shown is not called addiction.

it's an addiction as members use it for competition in increasing scraps, when there is no need they are always in the cafe using specially social network.

There are only few problems

1. We are not united / Unanimous

2. We are not taking the Lead

3. We are egoistic & always fighting

4. Not really interested in Solutions

5. Always blaming others

6. Hatred of any kind

Solutions

1. Honesty

2. Love / Respect

3. Truthfulness

4. Faith / Trust

5. Determination

Like Atal Behari Vajpayeeji, Best Infrastructure from North to South & East to west and connecting Rivers to control Floods & Droughts

Best Education for all, no Competitive Exams at all, bcoz Education is the most Fundamental Right of every Citizen & nobody should be Deprived.

More importance to Science & Technology to fetch Nobel Prizes

Limited Cricket & equal Promotion of all the Sports & Games

Court Judgements within 2-3 months, all pending cases to be disposed within 6-12 months

There is a long list in my mind............I will make all Happy, nobody will be in Distress......

An intense desire for something, i.e. enthusiasm, can turn into addiction anytime. Toostep forum has got a capacity to convert your enthusiasm into addiction, as you find in one forum, divergent views of various subjects that forces one to visit it again and again!

The debates, valuable insights, superb questions and answers, latest trends, most required job postings and a creativity place of your own makes it a place full of energy and enthusiasm I wonder if anyone can be just idle while getting the things of his interest here.

THANKFULLY IT SHOULD REMAIN AN ENTHUSIASM, BECAUSE THE AFTER EFFECTS OF ADDICTION ARE ALREADY SURFACING ON TOO STEP, WHEREIN NON SERIOUS, PERSONAL, HUMOROUS, CHILDISH ISSUES AND DEBATES ARE BEING POSTED ON TOO STEP. LET US KEEP TOO STEP A FORUM FOR SERIOUS MATURED MIDDLE AND SENIOR LEVEL PROFESSIONALS, OTHERWISE IT WILL END UP AS A SIMPLE SOCIAL NETWORK SITE.

I completely agree with Vinay, it is only enthusiasm which makes me to be on toostep. Sharing and gaining gives more enthusiasm than any thing else. Toostep has helped us to get it......

Thanks for toostep.....

Yes! I am fully agree with Vinay sir passion is not addiction its enthusiasm. Devotion to the work, activity or even to your some one whom u like most is always appreciable. So to be involved is not addiction, its enthusiasm . Ok I know hyper is avoidable. but cant say its addiction :)
