Users need to understand that the Internet is only a tool that can enhance their lives and interactions in the physical world. Therefore, there is a need for a balance between cyberspace and the physical world. If such a balance is not achieved, it may lead to:
- Internet addiction: Spending too much time online that family and friends are ignored and normal daily tasks are affected.
- Addiction to role-playing online games
- A feeling of anxiety and discomfort when disconnected from the virtual world.
- Inability to limit gaming activity and to distinguish between the real world and fantasy world.
The Internet should be used in moderation and not in isolation from the physical world so as to reap the greatest benefits from the medium.
