But as you know, nothing comes with ‘only’ benefits. Everything has got its negative
points as well, and so has the Internet.

About negative impacts of the internet to our life

1. Internet addiction disorder
The biggest negative impact of Internet is the ‘Internet Addiction Disorder’. Well, since
the researches about this Internet disease are still going on, so it is hard to define it at this

time.
Do you play video games on the Internet in excess? Are you compulsively shopping
online? Can’t physically stop checking Facebook? Is your excessive computer use
interfering with your daily life – relationships, work, school? If you answered yes to any
of these questions, you may be suffering from Internet Addition Disorder.

The person suffering from this disease behaves in the way as he/she is always on the
Internet, even when there is no Internet. This Internet disease has been found mostly
among the young adults. Recent surveys conducted in America estimated that around 1015 million people are there who are suffering from Internet Addiction Disorder. The count
is indeed very big and is increasing every year.

2. Reduced physical activity
Gone are the days when children used to play outdoor games. Now they prefer to
play games online which do not involve any physical activity. Due to addiction of
Internet, many people are doing less physical activities.

The sedentary act of prolonged computer use resulting in physical inactivity may
increase the level of body fat and risk of obesity with the same way as they are inactive
and not involve in physical activities. This is one big reason why obesity is common to
find nowadays.
In addition, the excessive time spent online, was well documented to be associated with
insomnia and sleep disturbances. Continuous use of Internet is bad for our eyesight as
well.
3. Cybercrime

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE INTERNET TO OUR LIFE

Cybercrime is an issue which impacts the lives of many people. Since anyone can
use Internet, so the huge user base of this virtual world contains some naughty minds as

well.
Common types of cybercrime include hacking, online scams and fraud, identity
theft, attacks on computer systems and illegal or prohibited online content. Such people’s
whole purpose of using the web is to disturb others or to loot money from others.
Anyone can be a victim of cyber crime – whether you are a young person who feels they
are being bullied or harassed online or an older person or business who has been
scammed out of money or important data. The online frauds, crimes are very common to
see in daily news.
( />( />III. Conclusion
The negative impacts of Internet do not mean that one should stop using it. How one
person uses Internet depends completely on him/her. If you ask me how to protect myself
from those negative effects. Well, it's so easy.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF THE INTERNET TO OUR LIFE

First, I only use the Internet when necessary. Instead of lying at home holding the
phone, I spend my free time hanging out with my friends, shopping, go walking…

Next, I make friends selectively and I never meet strangers when I’m just be alone. I
don't share about myself, my habits and feelings with strangers because they will be able
to capture and easily commit acts of abuse or endanger me.
Finally, I never join unhealthy websites and I always show clearly and drastically
my criteria of healthy living concepts, show others that I am not a "virtual living" or
maybe easily fooled.
No one is forced to use Internet in any particular way. So, you must try to use it for good
purposes only.
