Dangerous effects of frequent use of cyberspace

Digital devices originally created to serve humanity have had a detrimental impact on our lives.

Social skills:

In the face of IT, technology seems to create a global network for people. But in fact, this replaces the real connection of life and the end of social isolation. In addition, strong social links are replaced by a number of superficial friends on social networks as a result, people may feel lonely and depressed.

We are used to living in our own world and even looking at electronic pages when surrounded by people. When we replace real interaction with online communication, we lose the ability to understand social cues such as tone of voice, facial expressions, body language and direct expressions. Rough games and videos cause the death of empathy and the destruction of individual life.

The effects of using cyberspace

Education:
The internet is a great tool for learning. You can get any information you want instead of spending time in the library or see online without leaving home. However, technology participation does not always guarantee the quality of Education. Children sometimes use technology that negatively affects the learning process.

Analysis and critical thinking have declined. This puts the thinking ability of the younger generation at risk. Various studies claim that the more students use entertainment technologies such as gaming or social media, the less educated they are. Instead of reading and doing homework, they participate in hobbies.

There is a similar position for the internet:the use of the web for search information is associated with higher scores, while online gaming or unnecessary chatting is associated with low exam results. The reason is the distraction caused by games, messages and videos.
