Internet addiction causes depression and affects work. Come out of it with these apps.
Living in the digitally advanced era, the internet, social media platforms, and smart devices have become the key aspect for our survival. Alongside advancing us digitally and making us more informative, the internet can also cause some issues such as depression.
Several neuroscientists have earlier asserted that modern day technology is drastically changing our thought process, severely damaging the brain cells and affecting the way we think.
