The article discusses the problem of the pupils' and students’ dependence on the Internet use (the Internet addiction). The historical aspect of the emergence and identification of Internet addiction as a mental disorder is considered. The main types of Internet-based dependencies are described; there are the next types of them: computer-based dependency, compulsive navigation in the network, information overload, cyber-sexual and cyber-communicative addictions. It was revealed that cyber-communicative addiction is the most common type of Internet dependence among young people. It was suggested that there is a connection between the spending time in network and the attention concentration level of the young generation.
