Since the invention of the World Wide Web, game boxes, computers, cell phones, numeric pagers and blackberry, loads of information gathering, sharing and high-tech communication have evolved into new social structures known as (ICT) information and communication technology. This technology has been so outstanding that over 3.3 billion people use cell phone and subscribe to (SN) social networks such as MySpace, Twitter, and FaceBook rather than “face-to-face” (Massimini & Peterson, 2009) interaction as a source of control. Research of online “social networks” (Massimini & Peterson, 2009) show a correlation between excessive ICT use and unhealthy lifestyles with addictive personality disorder from “media overload.”
