1. Generalized Internet Addition (any internet activity on any platform)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInternet addiction\u201d refers to misuse of any internet activities (gaming, social networking, shopping, multimedia) on any platform (PC, smartphone, tablet). Due to the rise of multi-platform use, International research of \u201cGeneralized Internet Addiction\u201d has decreased recently.
