Not being able to live without the internet is an issue. It has impacted society in mostly negative ways. Now more than ever we are seeing a significant decrease in human attention span. It is proven that this is the result of massive internet use. That is just one of the many issues revolving around the effects of the internet.
There is also a rise in mental health issues including anxiety and depression. Many people experiencing these things may not even realize that it may be from internet use.
It can also impact self-esteem and self-image. I feel like many people are compelled to participate in social media and tend to compete for a place on it. However, what a lot of people fail to understand is that what they are seeing is only a partial highlight of someone’s life. There is always another side that everyone else isn’t seeing. What people end up wanting to achieve is nearly impossible and unattainable.
The internet should be used with caution.
