Abstract

Internet use has become an integral part of our lives, offering a variety of features and services. While it can be beneficial to use the internet in moderation, excessive use of the internet can have negative consequences for our physical and mental health. Terms like internet addiction, internet dependency, and digital overexposure are all different ways of describing the same thing: an excessive and unhealthy use of the internet. This can manifest in a variety of ways, such as spending too much time online without taking a break or finding it difficult to focus on tasks outside of the digital domain. Overuse of the internet can also lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and frustration. It is important to be aware of how much time is being spent online and to take regular breaks in order to stay healthy.
