“…Many studies have called this phenomenon Internet Addiction or IA, but it seems more like a natural resource such as electricity or running water that people in the United States take for granted as always being available. IA is a valid diagnosis in the DSM-V, but applying it broadly to an entire generation of people, such as the older adolescents or young adults, is unfair because the hallmarks of IA involve compulsive internet use (Poli, 2017). The Internet use for educational purposes does not meet the criteria for compulsive use or IA.…”

Today's learners bear a stress load of which their predecessors may never have dreamed. College students in the United States have financial and economic pressure. They have the perception that academic success is the only path to career success. Additionally, today's college students have become adults in an age where electronic connection is expected. An initial study found that college students reported academics as a significant pressure and that connecting face-to-face with and belonging to a group of peers is essential. Educators need to find a different way to teach today's learners that considers the students' academic success needs.

“…The above brings a very interesting as well as worrying concern: would playing LBG bring good or adverse health impact to young people? There are several studies reporting a number of health consequences regarding game addiction in the physical realm [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]; in the psychological area [6,[10][11][15][16][17][18][19], and/or in social aspects [10][11][20][21][22]. For instance, a study by Schilling (2016) and Griffin (2016) stated that it could help to relieve depression [23].…”

Background In Hong Kong, a lot of young adults are smartphone users. There are a number of health consequences in the physical realm, psychological area, and social aspects caused by game addiction of smartphone users. Game playing with smartphones is popular among young phone users. A location-based game (LBG) has recently received big attention from the young players. As such, this report is intended to explore the Hong Kong young adults' perceptions on playing LBG, Pokémon GO about their physical discomfort, and joy in playing the game. Methods and Findings We conducted 3 focus group discussions, held between January and April 2017, on this LBG (e.g., intention to try, harmfulness, and leisure) with a total of 17 young adults (age from 18-25 years old). We analysed the discussions using a thematic approach. Participants generally reported positive perceptions on playing the LBG, particularly because of their visual appeal in a reality situation. Some negative perceptions were reported. All participants believed the LBG would be at risk with increasing number of negative outcomes if participants were not handling the indulgence in the game well. Participants also commented that this game could be gateways to augmented reality with LBG. Conclusion Young adults welcome the LBG and are willing to experiment with Pokémon GO. Playing the LBG may alter the young adults' attitude and behavioural intention among their social interaction to pursue a common goal, physical activity and daily living behaviour.

The aim of this meta-analysis study is to figure out the true correlation between self-esteem and internet addiction. This meta-analysis uses 159 studies from 40 scientific articles from the year of 2005-2018 and involved in 120.825 participants. Correction for the two artifacts studied in this meta-analysis first is sampling error, and the second one is measurement error. The results support the hypothesis and show some similar findings whereas the true correlations from the groups confirm previous researches that self-esteem has a negative correlation to internet addiction. The strongest correlation found in adolescence group followed by men and women, all participant, also students and college students groups. However, these findings show that the internet accommodates individuals with negative self-esteem to build online social relationships and fulfilling their communication and pleasure needs and makes them easier committed to deviant behavior such as internet addiction.
