Title : Cognizance of internet addiction

Abstract:

In today’s world, we are all so dependent on digital technology that digital devices have fashioned into a significant part of our lives. These various digital devices have largely occupied all the fields and taken the place of almost everything in our life activities and have contributed towards a type of addiction called digital craving.

We’re all spending too much time on our phones and computers. With the internet, smartphones, and video games easily available to increasing portions of society, researchers are becoming concerned with the potential side effects and consequences of their prevalence in people's daily lives. Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) ruins lives by causing neurological complications, psychological disturbances, and social problems. Hence let us now try to explore more on this topic.

Keywords: digital technology, internet, internet addiction disorder.
