I love the motto of cervantes
I hope we are all more cervantes and less
Quixote although Quixote had a
question in your favor
and it was that effectively being an addict
Reading allowed us to foresee many
things that are not going to happen in the
technologies that we have regarding the
technologies that he had then that
was that of the books written about
paper and in a second question about
of cervantes and it is precisely this
character of innovation
there is an element also very quixotic
very Cervantes in the search for
elements that define what we call
social addictions or addictions in
our case to new technologies
are we say at a starting point in
the current scientific community in
the field of clinical psychology is
is asking if this really exists
or if we are talking about something that is not
more than excessive social use in
some cases we are within what
we knew criticism we would call lines
new research from always
we have believed and we have known that
people who use substances
that introduced inside the
organism are capable of altering the
brain functioning this that
colloquially we call drugs are
legal drugs or illegal drugs suppose
a specific time for these
people the interaction with this
substance somehow assumes a
loss of control the person ends
consuming much more than what you want
even in those circumstances or
Although the consequences of its
of their consumption are clearly negative
it’s a loss of control and a
dependency or dependence that leads to
employ good part of your good time
part of your money
good part of his life habit in the
search and self-administration of
substance at a given time
we started to realize that it was not
only the substance
that seemed to generate the addiction but that
there were elements of behavior that
They had a lot to do with this
addictive process
then we started to stop using the
term addiction and we started talking
perhaps more appropriately than that of
term addictive behavior or
addictive behavior and we do not take long
time in realizing that it was
possible to find us also addictions
no substance behavior patterns
that end up hooking us in such
way that we end up in the end
also developing loss of control
and also dependence is not that they are
dangerous behaviors nissan conducts
negative in themselves neither be much
fewer behaviors that only bring problems
the problem comes from the interaction
with that behavior when I
we perform in such a way that we
we are hooked on our own
activity that for a long time we
has been pleasant and even in some
very necessary cases within the
works in which we move in the
news and we try to identify
define to what extent the time so
long we dedicate to the
appliance we would say to the
tool that has changed life the most
of the majority of citizens that is
the mobile phone to what extent
and I insist all that time that most
of us we use for reasons of
work but also for reasons
social also for leisure reasons
all that time we spent connected to
internet to what extent simply form
part of our lifestyle
or we can meet people who
problems develop in the
sense that they are hooked one
activity that is pleasurable that is
necessary that it represents an advance for the
tremendously great humanity with everything
what has to do for example with the
social networks
to what extent interact with these
instruments interact with these
behavior patterns what we call
colloquially the network or what we call
colloquially internet to what extent
may have problems about us
same
this is somehow starts to be
a problem when they happen
fundamentally four things first
when there is a great dependence
emotional the person experiences a
deep restlessness when you can not
be connected when you must spend days
Without connection
not because that depends on your job does not
because I ‘m waiting for a message
important but fundamentally because
the passing 24 12 48 three is not conceivable
hours without being connected to the internet
be through a tablet be through
of a computer is through a
mobile phone
the second element is the loss of
control
I want to send a message and it took two
hours send a message I want to enter
internet only to check the
press and it took an hour and a half
having left other things participated
let’s say of this activity more time of
what was planned
the third element has to do with that
another series of activities that one
performs good that has to do with your
work that has to do with your friends
that has to do with your family including
that have to do with your own car
Care are clearly harmed
because the time we use the network
we seem to be just taking away another
kind of things we usually do
and in fourth place and this starts to be
clinically significant when this
abuse
let’s say of the time that we dedicate to
new technologies is a detriment
for one’s work for life
everyday of one or even to
social relations is what some
authors comes to finish talking about
addictions in general and from this that
today we could call the possible
addictions to new technologies or to
the communication technologies of
new ones already have less to what extent
we can determine this call it is a
pathology of freedom in short
is a person who carries out a
activity that is itself necessary
that I felt very pleasant that can be
in itself very positive the realizes
much more than he wants
despite the tremendous consequences
negative starts to have
I’m going to ask you a series of questions
could be a little bit of this not
they need to raise their hands
only respond mentally
the first questions have to do
with an instrument that we use from
a lot of time to identify possible
people with addiction problems
chemistry as is the case of addiction
to alcohol is the inventory swap is
formed by four simple items up to
answer yes or do not know no answer
two or more of these are not before a
alcoholic person
we are before a person in which
we would expect to go a little deeper
more on assessing if we are to
a person who has abuse or
dependence on the questions that are and
then we passed it to an addiction not
chemistry has had the impression once
what you should see – the state people
ever on your way to see what
have ever felt wrong or guilty about
your way of seeing by the amount of what
what should and finally this is a
question from the book that once
first you have done when you have
lifted in the morning but drink to
apply the nerves or to compensate
possible but my residence
are questions referring an addiction
chemistry up here nothing new
Let’s find some of the questions that
we usually use specially
in adolescent and young population for
identify possible cases of addiction to
what we could colloquially call
Internet addiction sometimes you have lost
hours of sleep by being connected to
Internet
not because it is going down
not because tomorrow I have to deliver a
report and I do not have time during the
rest of the previous days but
mainly by connecting sometimes
puts in a bad mood for not being able to be
connected sometimes you contact more connected
more and for longer than you should
you have stopped doing some tasks by
be connected to the internet and finally
sometimes he prefers to be connected to be
enjoying the relationship with your
friends
surely some of us have
answered yes to more than one of the
questions that are here
this does not mean that you have not responded
yes to more than two of the questions that
had here have problems of addiction to
Internet
I would mean that it is quite
possible that much more than
what we can apparently think of a
problem not in itself of connecting us to
internet not in itself start of new
technologies but yes to start
experience some loss of control
certain dependence at least
emotional a good clinician of this country
says that ultimately
we would talk about cyberdiction when a
child prefers to be in front of the
video game screen to play in the
park with her gang when a boyfriend
is more aware of your iphone than your
girlfriend or when a young person or an adult has
received some attention by
part of your family or your bosses
because it uses too much time connected
to the network because they are some of the
clinical indicators that to start
make us suspect that we can be
before a person that I do not know if addiction
but at least it has problems for
control the use of these new
technologies
first and foremost the
people who are capable or who employ
usually in less than five hours
sleep because they have been connected to
Internet is a problem especially
relevant in young population by many
reasons among other things because
school days are long they suppose a
very large cognitive effort and because
we are talking about brains that are
let’s say to an information
the second indicator is when some
of the things that you need to make
studies his work and that even in
sometimes also the toilet
food have been harmed
for the time you spend connecting to
Internet
The third element is when received
complaints from family members and even
by friends about time
that you dedicate to the internet
in fourth place and especially
relevant when you have carried out
efforts to not be so long
connected or even for spending days without
connect and have been efforts
unsuccessful
something like that loss of control
move on me
we would say the mac and in fifth place when
the activities that usually
they satisfied for each one they will be the ones that
be
cervantes out for coffee but for
that vote and hunting really said the
first pages of Quixote and he arrived
a moment when all these
activities that are also pleasurable
which also means a degree of
satisfaction progressively
leaving aside because every time
we spend more time in the connection to the
net
what to do with the people who can
point out ways to do with
people who have problems or who
they may have problems of
addiction
obviously it does not fit like in the case of
chemical addictions does not fit
option of abstinence I can not
tell a person in the century
twenty stops using a mobile no
have an internet connection in your
computer do not use a tablet would be
ask someone to forget about
airplane bus of the
refrigerator washing machine is a
tool that is part
fortunately of the great advances
of humanity in recent times
what is necessary is to establish a
relationship pattern with this object already
clearly satisfactory and wherever
person who has control over the
tool fundamentally with a
preventive nature when we work
for teenagers
what we seek is fundamentally
four strategies a limit times and
internet connection spaces
there is a time when we must stop
connect today activities that we should
learn to do without being connected to
internet for example one can see your
favorite movie or your favorite series
without necessarily having to have the
mobile next door unless one is
waiting for an urgent message for the
whatever reason
Second, expand the networks
real social our species
it’s a social species and that’s why it has
so much
importance of social networks but
the social connection and in communication
Social
our species especially needs
the real contact not only virtual in
third place put activities that
they are satisfactory pleasant and
fun and that if possible be in
group of sports activities
cultural activities activities
religious leisure activities of the type
whatever and try somehow
combine the time one dedicates to
Internet with the time you dedicate to
these other activities
and in fourth place all the people of
good skill strategies
social for good people
tools to know how to handle a
conversation to learn to flirt for
learn to reject what is pulling me
the yews
definitely make a person
sufficiently skilled in the real social
and day more and last and a moment and
we started to see some cases also in
the usual clinical practice of people
whose addiction problem is no longer
only a problem of abuse but
really a dependency problem not
in these cases what we pay and
the intervention program resembles
quite real terms to the
chemical addictions other addictions
social as is the case of the game
pathological and fundamentally part of
two moments
On the one hand we have to extend periods
of abstinence
I have to expose myself and learn that no
nothing will happen in my life
if during the next five days there is no
I’m connected to the internet and from
there to learn exposure strategies
prolonged and dominant arrangement where
I am able to establish in what
moment 15 hours a day so that
activities used the new
technologies and at what time he stopped
use the definitive return to retake the
domain over the tool
I think that we are somehow
on a new field a novel field
that we are not exemplified how
possibly no other that is not a
problem
the use of new technologies
that is not in itself a behavior
addictive its use but yes that some
way the engrams themselves
behavior
the relationship itself
we set man machine in this case
can lead us to lose the
freedom may come a moment in the
that one is not connected to the network but
fundamentally engage
