Increasing Trend of Cyber Addiction

Cybernet or Internet is the buzz word which has changed and modernized the way we live, work, shop and communicate/talk.Come 2000, we saw cyber cafes/browsing centers emerging across streets in India in contrast to today where most of us are connected to the cyberworld via blackberry or SMART phone (Even chinese in same cases).
       Its a good sign that technology has made our life easier by making everything available in a click of a button. However we also need to think about the number of child users who are using the internet daily and the increasing number of cyber crimes  which has increased the need for more and more cyber security.Although we are aware of the risks of cyber usage, we are still encouraging and getting more and more addicted towards it. I have seen people who will go mad if they are not allowed to log into social networking sites for a day.
    Cyber addiction has made our personal data easily vulnerable to hackers and phishers as we have our history with photos in social networking sites which makes their life easier.We need to act swift to arrive at a point where we can balance ourselves....Thoughts please
