The invisible side of the Internet In developing countries, with the growth rate of Internet users, the Internet has become an inseparable part of people's lives. Because the Internet worries about its side effects in life, it deprives them of their assets such as a good relationship with others, creative ability and time they have, and makes them suffer from psychological diseases such as social phobia and depression. In fact, it endangers their privacy. Therefore, people should be aware of Internet threads. Even though the Internet appears to be beneficial, it can be the source of crucial problems in people's lives. First of all, people who surf the Internet should know that they will not be able to control themselves after they start surfing, which leads to some social and psychological problems. It is inevitable that people are inclined to commit illegal acts. The Internet is a place where users can learn all kinds of information. For example, when a person wants to build a bomb or find a weapon, it is really easy to find these things in detail with one click. Furthermore, games that include violence such as fights, bank robberies can have an influence on people, especially children who are in adolescence, and impose on them as if behaviors were normal. Furthermore, Internet users lose touch with the real world where people have good relationships with their friends and family due to the virtual world where there are no people to deeply share the sense of happiness or sadness. While people talk, joke or try to explain something through the screen, the person talking to you can't exactly get the message across with one or two sentences or by sending emotional signals, in other...... middle of paper. .. ...they are distracting. Therefore, that useless information is stored in our long-term memory while the information that people want to learn is stored in short-term memory. The reader of printed books understands context more clearly than online text. Knowledge learned by reading is more understandable rather than watching, and individual reading is also more creative (Carr, 2008). All in all, the Internet has harmful effects on people, especially the young generations. The Internet can impose some ideas on people, for example, violence between people is shown as normal, friendship is fake and instant, any information can be easily achieved without the need for learning. Furthermore, it is also a common thread for our privacy. For these reasons, people should understand that the Internet is not a useful tool. Therefore, they should take precautions when using the Internet.
