We are increasingly moving our lives to the Internet, working in the Internet space, building social relationships, doing errands or seeking our passions there. However, we rarely ponder on how that space affects us. We are online all the time. We are on the web. We are possessed by the web. We become cyber burned-out. So far, the phenomenon of burnout has been studied only in a work-related context and treated as a category that refers to adults only. However, it is beginning to apply to children as well – physicians diagnose child burnout that results from the pressure children are placed under to meet expectations relating to their academic performance and the pursuit of success.
