    @MP Absolutely, but you have to give it your full attention. No skimming or checking your notifications every few seconds.

    Thanks for this excellent site. I see it’s well researched and you come from the purest of intentions. One question I have from your 1st presentation is do you believe it possible that there are people who lead normal lives without the internet, and when exposed to the internet they become addicted it? If such a person exists, and I for one believe there are many like this, you would seem to refer them to a therapist. Is it right for such a person to embrace the internet, and then discover he has a problem he didn’t have before and now have to see a therapist for? Not sure if I’m being clear, but without the internet he/she was normal, but with the internet they’ve discovered an addiction and now need therapy. Is it possible there’s another direction for such a person? Thanks.

      What you asking is often asked about the ultra orthodox person that because he is so sheltered for good or for worse, when he is exposed to the internet will cause major problems. It’s a question I dont have an answer too. I think Rabbi Student was going to address it and than decided not to, because it really is a question for their own rabbis to answer.

      Sorry for the delay in checking comments and responding. There are two issues: First, you will soon be unable to avoid the internet so we need to learn now how to use it properly. Second, many things involve danger. People die in car crashes in the country during the summer, not to mention the immodesty and infidelity that seems to plague the area (as rabbanim who counsel couples tell me). In a shul near me, we say Tehillim all summer because of the danger. Do we tell people not to go to the country in the summer?
