Causes of Internet Addiction of Contemporary College Students
In my opinion, contemporary college students are addicted to the Internet for the following reasons:

1. Comparison between network and reality

There is a lot of information on the Internet that is inaccessible in real life. College students can contact different information and different people online. The abundant information on the Internet attracts college students. College students have strong curiosity and desire to explore, and are easily fascinated by the online world. In the online world, college students can not only come into contact with many new things, but also talk about their emotional needs online, which is what is lacking in real life. Due to frequent contact with the Internet, college students have become dependent on the Internet.

? 2. Have a sense of existence in the online world

In real life, some college students are timid and usually have no sense of existence, but in the online world, everyone can speak, comment, be praised by others and even be on the hot list, which brings them a sense of existence and superiority. In online games, they enjoy it. Playing games can make them forget the troubles of life for a while. If they don't play well, someone can praise them and play with them to find a sense of existence. Due to the anonymity of the internet, many people's speech styles on the internet may be quite different from the reality, and their personal sense of existence is promoted and symbolically satisfied in the virtual world.

? 3. In order to integrate into the collective

In today's Internet age, there are different online buzzwords every year. If you don't surf the internet often, it's easy to have no topic with others. When others are talking about a stalk, they don't know anything and can't enter the group chat. If everyone around you plays games and you don't, you will feel excluded and you may be laughed at by others. Therefore, the social needs of college students also lead them to indulge in the online world.

? 4. Insufficient supervision and control

College students have just stepped out of the boring study life in high school, just like a runaway wild horse. Without the supervision and restraint of parents and teachers, students in the surrounding environment also play computer and mobile phones, so it is easy to indulge in the online world without knowing it. Moreover, most college students are just adults and can't control themselves well, but most online games are difficult to curb because of their real-name authentication, and college students can roam freely in the online world and can't extricate themselves.
