Excessive internet usage is characterised by extensive, problematic addiction to the use of computer and internet. It signifies poorly controlled preoccupations or behaviour regarding such usage. Excessive internet usage leads to personal distress and social impairment.

The four C’s to identify excessive internet usage are as follows.

1. Craving – Do you have an intense desire to use the internet? 

2. Control – Do you have an inability to control your self using the internet? 

3. Compulsion – Do you find it difficult to stop using the internet? Even though you know you should not spend so much time on it? 

4. Consequence – Have you ever experienced any physical or psychological ill effects as a result of excessive use of the internet?

If you answer a ‘yes’ for at least three of the C’s, it can be a matter of concern.
