Although I teach people how to use the Internet and social media, I also need to remind everyone of the possible consequences of excessive use. As William Shakespeare once said, too much of a good thing can be bad.
Excessive use occurs when the user ignores important tasks in favor of surfing the net. This could include obligations at home or on the job. Do we excessively use the Internet in the work place? I will raise my hand on this one. Come on, be honest, at some point or another, we have all been on the Internet at work. Fortunately, my job requires a presence on the Internet to promote trainings for computer basic workshops, and if your job requires recruitment or advertising, then the Internet and social media is the place to be. However, we must each identify how much is too much Internet use in the workplace.
