Abstract: 
The Internet provides a simple and quick way to communicate with others and acquire the knowledge needed for global communication. Lack of self-control over excessive internet use, however, can affect people's living standards, relationships within families, and emotional stability. Internet addiction, cyber bullying, cyber porn, cyber suicide, social isolation, and other phenomena are only a few of the negative effects of the Internet's rapid expansion on our daily lives. The constant use of computers has a detrimental effect on users' physical and mental health, affecting many different systems. The most significant of these issues have an impact on the following systems: ophthalmology, neurological system, musculoskeletal system, headaches, and tendency to become obese.
