The distinction between online and offline has always seemed weird to me. You can do destructive things in both, just as you can do beneficial things in both.

Instead of going offline for X days I try to have healthy online and offline habits. Reduce the twitter doomscrolling and increase the social interactions over text chat or zoom. Reduce the TV watching (is TV watching offline or online??) and walk more and read more books.
- cpsns 5y agoSome of us find it very, very hard to have healthy online habits. I know many here don't like the idea of internet addiction, but at this point I am convinced it's a real thing and for some people the only solution is abstinence.
- lambic 5y agoI don't think we should be calling it internet addiction though. The internet can be used for so many things, many of them beneficial overall. People may suffer from social media addiction, or gaming addiction or porn addiction, or TV/video addiction, but internet addiction seems overly broad. Am I addicted to the internet because I check the weather every day or look at google maps every time I go anywhere?
