What is the latest medical thinking about internet addiction? What database did you use? Full citation.

Internet addiction is a continuously increasing problem in societies all over the world, particularly in youth (Dreier, Wolfling & Beutel 2014). The study conducted by Dreier et. al. (2014), discovered certain factors that put youth at more risk of developing addictive behaviour towards the internet. These were: age; sex; education; and preference for gambling and gaming. Furthermore, "dysfunctional users show considerable impairments regarding a broad range of mental problems, especially aggression, attention-related, social, and also achievement problems"(Dreier et. al. 2014, p. 496).

What are IT engineers thinking about surveillance cameras? Identify a theme you could write an essay about and cite three papers that would be useful.

There is a growing number of wireless enabled surveillance cameras being installed for both personal and business purposes. Security on these devices is a risk issue that needs to be mitigated through consumer education and increased security.
