I. Introduction.
The relevance of research.
Nowadays, the Internet is becoming more and more important. The Internet is everywhere, on a mobile phone, on a home and school computer, in a library, on TV, in a store, and even in a car.
The most important thing on the Internet is the wireless and wired network. Now it will not be difficult for an Internet user to write any report, abstract, article, essay, research paper, because all the necessary records that should be used in the work can be easily found on the Internet.
The global database saves a lot of time, but do not forget that excessive use of the Internet can affect our psyche. No wonder there is a saying:"everything is good in moderation". Excessive interest in the Internet can have a detrimental effect on the domestic, educational, social, work, family, financial and psychological spheres of our lives, as well as cause such a disorder as Internet addiction.
Practical significance:introduce students to my age group with the influence of the Internet on their livelihoods, using visually illustrative pages of the site. This material can be used in extracurricular activities.
In the course of my work, the following hypotheses were put forward:
1. Universal accessibility of the Internet within reasonable limits will only benefit any person.
2. The Internet has a detrimental effect on the younger generation.
Research problem.
What impact does the Internet have on the frequent user of the network, what consequences does it cause?
Purpose of the study: positive and harmful effects of the Internet on a person.
Object of study: an electronic resource the influence of the Internet on a person.
Subject of study: sites as an electronic resource.
Tasks:
1. To study scientific views on the positive and detrimental effects of the Internet on a person in Internet articles.
2. Interview real users of my school about how the Internet affects them.
3. Organize and classify the collected material.
Research methods: analysis, synthesis, systematization, generalization, survey.
II. Main part.
2.1. Internet in modern society.
The Internet appeared quite recently, and if we take the ratio of the adult and the younger generation, then we can say with full confidence that the main number of Internet users are people aged 15 to 45 years, the older generation today is just getting used to learning the basics of using the worldwide Internet. Modern society today lives by new rules, a large number of people today are running a successful online business, online today they sell and buy a large number of various goods that are not available in certain cities, Internet resources provide us with valuable information that is not on the shelves of our libraries, today people have access to communicate on the Internet with relatives, meet new people, create their own online communities. We will not list all these communities, as their number is increasing every day. We can say that the life of a modern person today largely depends on activity and the Internet provides such an opportunity, we can send a letter that will instantly reach the recipient, we do not need to wait a week or two weeks as before.
2.2. Survey results.
We can talk about both the positive and negative impact of the Internet on human life, let's try to state all this and separately consider the positive and negative aspects of the Internet that affect modern society.
To identify the positive and harmful effects of the Internet on a person, I looked at several scientific articles on the Internet. And based on them, I developed a survey questionnaire, which I conducted among 50 students and teachers.
Questionnaire
1. How old were you when you first logged into the network?
2. For what purposes do you use the Internet?
Studies
News
Social network
Online games
For work
3. Do you consider yourself an Internet addict?
4. How much time do you spend at the computer?
5. What physical inconvenience does your body experience when working at a computer for a long time?
Eyes hurt
Head
body muscles
sleep disorder
Survey analysis.
1. For 1 question, the guys of my age group answered that they started using the global network 2-3 years ago. Older people, that 1.5-2 years ago.
2. On the 2nd question, social networks and news shared the first place, the second - online games and communication, the third - "for work"
3. More than 60% answered with honesty - "yes", the rest - "no"
4.70% answered that they spend almost the entire daylight hours behind the screens of phones and computers.
15% answered that they spend 2-3 hours in the evening for work.
10% answered that they go online 2-4 times a week.
5% visit once a week.
5. More than 45 survey participants answered that their eyes hurt when they stick to the monitor of the phone and monitor for a long time. There is also fatigue in the shoulders and swelling of the muscles of the hands.
2.3. The positive impact of the Internet on a person.
Consider the positive the impact of the Internet on humans. The Internet has given people the opportunity to receive the latest news, gossip, information about idols. Play very interesting and exciting on-lain games.
Video conferences have become very popular. With their help, people can not only hear each other, but also see. Thus, they can solve important issues without changing their workplace and save both their money and time.
On the Internet you can find a job that will be highly paid and enjoyable. You can quickly transfer documents to a partner, receive a newsletter, quickly find out the latest news, for example, from the stock exchange, and this is very much appreciated in business.
The Internet makes shopping easier. They are cheaper electronically. When ordering goods and services, you can see in detail the description, photo, check reviews on this product. Sell a car, buy a pet, find entertainment for the weekend, pick up a tour.
Communicate in on-lain mode on social networks "VKontakte", "Odnoklassniki". So former classmates, old acquaintances and childhood friends who have not seen each other for many years can communicate again, view photos and give gifts to each other. There are dating sites where single hearts can find each other and live a long and happy life if they are lucky.
Do not forget about the disabled, sick people, people who do not have the opportunity of real contact with other people. The Internet allows you to communicate with real compatriots and other people living in other countries. That makes it possible to study the culture, customs, history of other states. The Internet provides great opportunities for education, because you can find such sources of information in it that are not found in any library. The network allows you to quickly find the answer to your question.
2.4. The negative impact of the Internet.
What a perniciousinfluence can bring the Internet to a person? Due to the impossibility of tracking user actions on the Internet, a person is faced with unwanted, obscene information that harms him. It would be nice to filter out all the negative information, but this is not yet possible.
Mostly, a person becomes Internet dependent on modern computer technologies, and psychotherapists were the first to face this problem in 1996. Internet addiction is compared with drug addiction - a physiological dependence on drugs.
Internet addiction has manifested itself in the fact that people prefer to live on the Internet, actually giving up real life, spending most of the day in virtual reality. Thus, a person avoids solving the problem “here and now”, but chooses a more comfortable psychological state, postponing the existing problems “for later”. Escape from reality begins to dominate in consciousness, and a person not only does not solve important problems for himself (for example, everyday, social), but also stops in his personal development.
I will give examples of several types of manifestations of Internet addiction:
Virtual dating - redundancy of acquaintances and friends in the network, constant new acquaintances;
Obsessive need for the network - online gambling, constant purchases or participation in auctions, participation in various discussions on forums;
Endless journeys through the network - search for information in databases and search sites;
Gambling addiction is the compulsive playing of online computer games.
According to various studies, today about 10% of users worldwide are Internet addicts. Russian psychiatrists believe that now there are 4-6% of those in the country.
The risk group includes, first of all, users who have problems with work or study, family or friends, who experience difficulties in communication, seeking to escape from real life. The incognitoness of Internet users provides them with a great opportunity to create online characters, escape from emotional problems, or from the simple complexities of life.
At the initial stage, Internet addiction can manifest itself in the fact that a person feels emptiness, depression, irritation outside the computer. May lie to others about their activities. Due to the increase in time spent at the computer and good health online, he does not have time to do any household chores. There is an obsessive desire to constantly check e-mail. Inability to stop spending money online.
Prolonged use of the computer also provokes physical symptoms: overexertion of the muscles of the hands, dry eyes, headaches, migraines, back pain, irregular meals, skipping meals, sleep disorders, changes in sleep patterns, neglect of personal hygiene.
At the initial stage, it is important not to scold the “patient”, which will only lead to increased dependence, but to turn to a psychologist. To date, the Russian Internet has an Anonymous Help Service for Internet Users, offering psychological support online using ICQ - a network analogue of the “helpline” and the “Virtual Psychological Service”.
Treatment of Internet addiction is similar to the treatment of any other addiction (for example, drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling addiction). It consists in switching a person to the joys of the real, not the virtual world.
III. Conclusion.
The universal accessibility of the Internet within reasonable limits, subject to the rules and recommendations for working with it from various specialists (for example, a teacher, parent, psychotherapist) will only benefit any person.
An educated, cultured person will independently “filter” negative and unwanted information. In educational institutions, on the part of parents at home, measures should be taken to block access to this kind of data. You just need to be more careful and not succumb to provocations from other Internet users. It is the selective approach in the work of the Internet that will allow avoiding its harmful influence on a person.
As a result of the work, I developed the design of the site pages, structured information in the form of diagrams, tables, diagrams on the topic under study.
The tasks that I set for myself were fully realized.
IV. Applications
The following applications were used during my research:
Word Processor,
PowerPoint Presentation,
browsers Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome,
search engines Yandex, Google.
Increasingly, a child receives as a gift not a car or a doll, but a game console, disk or computer. The Internet and sites for children have filled the free time of our younger generation. What, in fact, is the problem if the kid plays with pleasure and at the same time studies computer literacy?
Positive influence
"It's not that bad!" - say psychologists from Case Western Reserve University (USA). From 1985 to 2008, studies were carried out: after handing out toys to children aged 6-10, they offered to come up with stories about them and recorded them on video. Comparing the results, we came to the conclusion that modern children are more relaxed and fantasize more than 20 years ago. Their characters were more diverse and brighter, more details appeared, and in the stories themselves there was less hidden aggression, fights and disputes. Researchers note that although today's children do not play much in real life, their imagination is excellent. And stimulate it, develop memory, attention and coordination the same sites with video games, the Internet, as well as the whole diverse modern world in aggregate.
Bad influence
It is not easy to explain to a child that if he sits at the computer for a long time, this can affect not only his health, but also his social adaptation. As psychiatrists explain, computer technologies are designed for the brain of an adult, while in a child it is only being formed and cannot simultaneously recognize the virtual and real worlds. Up to 3 years, the baby should actively sniff, touch, feel; up to 6 years - to develop fine motor skills of pens: cut, sculpt, paint, lace. After the age of 6, the child should be able to play and entertain himself with the screen turned off and without the help of sites.
The lack of face-to-face communication in the family and community is the main cause of screen addiction. Losing communication skills in life, the child also loses interest in the real world, and the virtual one seems to him brighter and safer. For example, upset because of failure at school, the child visits and, plunging into the virtual world, forgets about the problem. The most interesting thing is that studies prove not only psychological dependence on computer games, but also physiological. Video game sites stimulate the central nervous system and promote the release of adrenaline. If a person needs more stimulation, then he needs more adrenaline. Then it happens the same way as with alcohol and drugs - there is a need to increase the dose to satisfy the body.
Another negative aspect of the influence of websites and computers on a modern child is the lag in speech development, the inability to think logically and quickly, and the lack of adequate communication with others. The result of this is a poor assimilation of school material and a poor social position in the future.
It has been scientifically proven that a child does not actually acquire any new abilities by studying on a computer. Conducting one of the experiments, we created three groups of equally developing six year olds. For a whole year, one group was taught computer programs and games, another - playing the piano, and a third - nothing at all. A year later, it turned out that the children from the second group achieved the greatest mental development, and the children from the first and third groups did not differ much from each other.
Mom, can I play on the computer?
After analyzing all the pros and cons of playing on the computer, let's still protect the health and fragile minds of our children from debauchery and violence on game and video sites that a child can get on the vast expanses of the Internet.
How to do it?
- Agree with your child about the time spent at the computer - up to 7 years it can be no more than 15 minutes four times a day.
- Discuss after playing on the computer new characters, their actions, feelings caused by the new game.
- Do one-minute visual gymnastics with your child 7-8 minutes after you start working on the computer and after it ends. For example, imagining a butterfly flying under the ceiling, the baby needs to follow with his eyes its flight from one corner of the room to another.
- Arrange a workplace appropriate for the age of the child:
- the chair should be with a back;
- you need to sit no closer than 50-70 cm from the computer;
- the gaze should rest perpendicularly to the center of the screen;
- the presence of free space (5 cm) between the body and the edge of the table;
- hands lie freely on the table;
- legs are bent at the hip and knee joints at a right angle and stand steadily under the table;
- the table with the computer is located in a well-lit place so that there is no glare on the screen.
For parents, there is a simple rule "3-6-9-12":
up to 3 years - no computer;
up to 6 years - no prefixes;
up to 9 years - no Internet;
up to 12 years - use of the Internet under the supervision of adults.
Conclusion
Perhaps, today's children cannot be strictly judged for their hobbies for online games. Sometimes they don't even know how to take their free time, and the characters on the sites replace the Cossack robbers with them, and football simulators - real football in the yard.
Let's not discount the busyness of parents, indifference and indifference, inattention to the problems of the child, unwillingness to play. But it is in a real game that a child experiences his fears, doubts and resentments. And if you only knew how important your opinion, your presence and your love are for the baby!
Actually, allow children to visit sites with games, but only within reasonable limits. When a child sits at home at the computer and does not go out, this is already bad.
We all know how important the Internet is, that without it we can’t go anywhere and “how we used to live without the Internet at all.”
With full confidence it can be called one of the most significant inventions of man. And, like all global discoveries, it is able to have a significant impact on the development of society, having both a positive and a negative impact.
It's good to live with him! The positive impact of the Internet
So, let's consider the questions of how the Internet affects a person, why the global network is so popular today, and is it possible to imagine life without it today.
1. The Internet and money are now at the same time.
Now you can earn money without leaving your apartment. Even 50 years ago, this was possible only thanks to manual applied labor. Now, as practice shows, many programmers, designers, specialists in other fields, earn large sums of money through the Internet, using their mental abilities and skills that they have trained, again, thanks to the Internet. Some run a completely legal and profitable business exclusively online. But, if there is no desire to sit at home alone, then on the network you can find a huge number of sites with profitable job offers in offices of different cities and countries. Today, the influence of the Internet on a person is practically unlimited.
2. Ability to purchase goods or services around the world.
Modern people, unlike previous generations, can afford it, even if it is not sold in the city where they live. Commissions and selling from under the counter have long since sunk into oblivion. Now you can buy absolutely everything on the Internet, from paper clips by the piece, to large appliances or uninhabited islands. And in order to take advantage of this opportunity, it is not necessary to spend a huge amount of time on the road, stand in traffic jams or go to another country to negotiate. It is enough to connect your computer to the Internet, open the site and place an order.
3. The Internet expands the circle of communication.
The Internet offers users the opportunity to show themselves and their talents to the world. Newspapers and bulletin boards at stops have now been replaced by social networks, forums, discussions and comments under current news. This is how the Internet affects a person: it simplifies all processes, up to finding a company for the evening, friends with narrow interests or a partner for life. This is a great way to find new acquaintances and profitable contacts. Undoubtedly, it can fill people's lives with new emotions, and even save someone from loneliness.
4. Stay up to date with the latest news.
The Internet always publishes the latest news from around the world. Today, users can not only learn about events and incidents on a global scale, but also view the air temperature outside the window in their city or check the state of traffic on the roads.
These are just the main benefits of how the Internet affects a person. But, do not forget that the needs of people are different. Someone goes to the Internet to download a new software application, someone picks up documentation related to professional activities. An incredible amount of information can be found on the web. And this is undoubtedly a positive impact of the Internet on a person. But where there is an opportunity for growth, development and gaining knowledge, there will inevitably be a place for danger, deceit, and psychological problems.
The negative impact of the Internet
The advantages of the Internet, whatever one may say, are many, otherwise it would not have gained such popularity. Unfortunately, in addition to the advantages, the Internet has brought many negative aspects to the life of modern people.
1. The main disadvantage of the Internet is the creation of an illusion.
The essence of the people in the network very often comes out. Therefore, on the Internet, you can easily find anonymous clubs of suicides, drug addicts and other dysfunctional individuals. In such clubs, you can learn how to take drugs or create weapons. And, unfortunately, the participants will not get anything for it. Such communication via the Internet will only bring problems and disappointment.
2. Forbidden films.
Another negative influence of the Internet is the huge number of pornographic sites. Do not confuse such videos with erotic films for adults, which can be purchased in city stores. We are talking about perverted videos that are not always adequately perceived by teenagers and people with a sick psyche.
3. Impunity.
According to psychotherapists, people who spend most of the day on the Internet experience difficulties with communication in life. They have low self-esteem and are very shy, they do not adapt well in society. Such people feel completely safe on the Internet. They know that they will not be punished for rash comments or for using obscene language with opponents. As a result of such actions, there is a negative impact of the Internet on society as a whole.
4. Health.
Enumerating the negative aspects of the influence of the Internet on a person, one should not forget about health. Vision, hearing, cardiovascular system of regular users of the global network always suffer. Virtual communication, games and watching entertainment videos have a negative impact on society. Especially when it comes to children.
5. Internet addiction.
And yet, the Internet is “addictive”. Some people lose interest in life if they do not have an Internet connection. There is a feeling of emptiness, irritability and depression. Arises. People who spend a lot of time on the Internet may begin to lie to their family members, colleagues or friends. They feel the feeling of euphoria and pleasure only when they open their favorite sites or launch games.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the influence of the Internet on modern society cannot be unambiguously assessed. Each person is responsible for his life, therefore, he must independently control his behavior and, in case of negative symptoms, pay attention to this influence.
The Internet, which has firmly entered our lives, as a fairly new, massive and large-scale phenomenon, cannot but reshape us to suit itself. There are many widespread opinions about how the Internet affects the human consciousness, and they vary from the idea of general stupefaction to the development of superpowers. What do psychologists tell us? How does the Internet really affect our minds?
It turns out that the hours spent on the net affect, first of all, our habits and abilities to remember and search for information within ourselves. What is this influence?
Firstly, psychologists say, the Internet information that we absorb during lunch breaks, short smoke breaks, or just for a momentary need is cut like a salad. The texts on the net are short, the thoughts in them are expressed concisely: read, swallowed - run on. And therefore, the expression “multi-bookaf”, which came out of the network and refers to it, perfectly reflects our slightly contemptuous reluctance to read something voluminous. For what? All the same, only the essence will remain in the head, the meaning that fits in five lines - quite enough to write on Twitter.
Secondly, when reading such small texts, we often do not pay due attention to them. As a rule, it takes us no more than five seconds to read the same status on the social network, and therefore we absorb information hastily, in parallel with other matters and not at the special time allotted for this, but between work, before negotiations or during lunch. As you know, doing a few things hastily, you do not do a single one well. Therefore, it is not clear how Caesar succeeded in one hundred simultaneous cases, and perhaps for this reason, employers block our access to social networks.
Thirdly, this very information, so short and easily accessible, becomes like a drug for us. We cannot live without access to the Internet, it seems to us that the Stone Age has returned especially for us, and while all other people lead a civilized life, we drag out a miserable existence, cut off from social networks, psychological tests, horoscopes, business advice and other things.
Fourth, we are replacing real communication with the Internet. It seems to us that since he gives us so much information, he is quite capable of replacing the interlocutor. That is why we often go to the Internet for advice, to strangers, replacing them with friends, mother and leader. And this is unfortunately. Once the world-famous Mark Zuckerberg “transferred the party to the network”, but modern psychologists insist on its return to real life! Where do we spend the most time? At work! That is why the psychological climate in the team is so important: communicate with colleagues - don't let the internet suck you in!
At the same time - and this is the fourth - the Internet creates only the illusion of communication. Changing the status on a social network, sending a tweet or a comment seems to us a live activity, and two or three messages written to a childhood friend found on the Internet are a real conversation. But is it so? Not at all.
Fifthly, the Internet is a kind of reserve for our brain. We know that you can always resort to it if necessary. So why bother and memorize something? The route can be viewed on maps, a small detail can be restored to memory using Wikipedia. All our knowledge is fragmentary and fragmentary, we do not analyze information, we simply absorb it, according to the requirements of the moment and nothing more. Is it good? I think no. This process goes on unconsciously for us, we do not even concentrate on it.
What assessment can be given to these conclusions? Psychologists say that all this simply exists and, apparently, this is an adequate reaction of mankind to the development of digital technologies. On the other hand, if the realization of all this gives us, rather, discomfort, then we are free to break the statistics! Of course, there is nowhere to work without the Internet, but personal communication is a completely different matter. Let's communicate more live, share impressions, meet more often. For work advice, turn to the manager, for help - to colleagues. Show photos to friends pasted into a paper album and read books. Then we are not afraid of any dents!

Introduction.
Every person has a computer at home, every second person has a computer connected to the Internet. Nowadays, we cannot do without a computer. Its influence adversely affects us, starting with the simplest games, ending with electromagnetic radiation.
Today, the computer is an integral part of everyday life. People spend most of their time at the computer (including their free time), and there is no hiding from it. Computers surround us everywhere: at home, in shops, in offices. Without a computer, it will be extremely difficult for a person.
Usually it all starts with a simple one: a person has entered the Internet for the first time, he wants to know what can be found there, what it is all about. There is an interest in everything that happens there - the thirst for information prompts more and more new sites, chats, etc. Further, a person learns that the Internet is not only a “picture book”. At any time, there are millions of people in it, and the Internet is, as it were, a subworld - an alternative. You can participate in it and influence it. Thus, in about a quarter, addiction appeared after six months of communication with a computer, in half after a year. Everyone "sits down" on his own. Many "hang out" in chats and chat for hours about nothing with virtual interlocutors.
It is especially easy for teenagers to get hooked on the Internet (according to their own communication experience, the majority of “Internet travelers” suffering from this addiction fluctuates between 15-23 years old).
Do you think, a person who spends hours on the Internet: does a harmless computer network do him good or harm at first sight? My work consists precisely in revealing to a person the whole essence of what this Internet really is.
What is the Internet?
The Internet is, first of all, a huge variety of computers and programs. Among the latter, you will find not only those who are good at solving your specific problems, but also many more whose abilities you will probably find it difficult to even imagine at first. Today, the Internet has about 112 million subscribers in more than 150 countries around the world. The size of the network increases by 7 - 10% monthly. The Internet - forms, as it were, the core, provides the connection of various information networks belonging to various institutions around the world, one with the other.
The Internet itself has been around for quite some time. However, it was only very recently - around 1990 - that the Internet finally gained the critical mass of users and resources necessary for the network revolution taking place before our eyes. High-speed modems, allowing ordinary users of personal computers to enjoy all the benefits of the Internet without restrictions, appeared even later.
However, this is only part of the answer to the question “what is the Internet”. The Internet today is not only a huge number of computers, but also an incredible number of people. , for whom the network is a fundamentally new way of communication, almost unparalleled in the material world. Man is a social being, and communication with his own kind is one of his primary needs. Perhaps, until now, not a single technical invention (except for the telephone) has made such a revolution in this ancient occupation - human-to-human communication.
So, one of the important dates in the history of the Internet can be considered 1957, when a separate structure stood out within the US Department of Defense (Department of Defense, DOD) - the Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). In the 60s, the main work of DARPA was devoted to the development of a method for connecting computers to each other. It is very important that he led the first research program dedicated to the system of global communication, launched by DARPA on October 4, 1962, J. Licklider (see Appendix No. 1), who published the work "Galactic Network". Also one of the important persons who are directly related to the opening of the Internet is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researcher Lawrence Roberts. (see Appendix No. 2)
Undoubtedly, the explosive growth of the Internet would have been unthinkable without the World Wide Web. In 1989, at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN, Switzerland, Geneva), Tim Berners-Lee developed the technology of hypertext documents, which allows users to access any information located on the Internet on computers around the world.
Why is the Internet needed?
The Internet provides services to man. Within the Internet there are thousands, if not millions, of various services and services. The main Internet services are:
· Access to the information.
· Communication.
Access to the information.
Before the advent of the Internet, traditional sources of information were:
mass media (both paper (newspapers, magazines) and electronic (radio, television));
publicistic literature;
scientific and special literature;
documents of official institutions;
· materials of conferences, round tables and other forms of direct public discussion - text, audio and video;
· analytical studies, marketing reports, market reviews;
reference books, catalogs, personalities, data banks, encyclopedias;
· interview;
graphics, video and audio recordings.
The Internet suggested the following sources:
online media;
· online literature;
· chats, forums, sites, the content of which is formed on the principle of a forum, and other forms of mediated public discussion;
web statistics collected and processed by specialized sites;
· online directories, catalogues, personalities, databanks, encyclopedias;
video and audio podcasting.
Communication via the Internet.
Features of communication via the Internet:
· Anonymity. A person in the network can and does show greater freedom of expression and actions (up to insults, obscene expressions), since the risk of exposure and personal negative assessment by others is minimal.
· Voluntariness and desirability of contacts. The user voluntarily makes contacts or leaves them, and can also interrupt them at any time.
· Difficulty in the emotional component of communication and, at the same time, a strong desire for the emotional content of the text, which is expressed in the creation of special icons to indicate emotions or in the description of emotions in words (in brackets after the main text of the message).
· Striving for atypical, non-normative behavior. Often, users present themselves from a different angle than in the conditions of a real social norm, they lose roles, scenarios, and abnormal behavior that are not realized in activities outside the network.
If you stop and think for a moment about how many means and methods of communication there are in the world today, you will have to admit that there are quite a lot of them and, most importantly, a considerable part of them are somehow connected with modern technical capabilities and, in particular, , with the Internet. Agree that e-mail, various forums organized in the network space, numerous Internet magazines, etc., and the Internet itself, for many, have become an equally important aspect of everyday life (and its inherent communication) than TV or telephone, and sometimes they (the means of the Internet) completely displace their "backward" brothers.
The impact of the Internet on people.
The first thing to consider is the impact of the Internet on human health.
The Internet is human health.
Internet and vision.
In fact, it is not the Internet that badly affects vision, but the computer, but the Internet is definitely to blame for this. Let's look at the statistics of those whose vision deteriorates more. (see Appendix No. 3)
This means that those users who communicate on the computer are more likely to worsen their vision. Such users communicate using the Internet, which means that the Internet negatively affects our vision. Vision deteriorates due to greater fatigue, when a person sits at a computer for a very long time and continuously, vision weakens. Also, vision deteriorates when reading from the monitor screen.
