Abstract: The article analyzes the phenomenon of addiction to computer and the Internet and their negative impact. The term computer addiction came into use in the 1990s as a concept that means a severe psychological problem, as it harms both the psyche of an individual as well as the relationship between the person and the social environment. The authors elaborate on the place computer and Internet occupy in the lives of children, the influences this inflicts on children’s lives and how it manifests in children’s behavior and interaction with the others in their surroundings. The article discusses the findings of the survey conducted among the children. The survey used the questionnaire designed by K. Gasparyan’s and covered 100 students from different educational institutions. Based on the finding, the authors stipulate their recommendations on the issue in question.
