The internet has transformed the way information is shared and consumed, but it has also created problems that did not exist before. What are the most serious problems associated with the internet and what are the possible solutions?

The enormous growth in the use of the

Internet

over the

last

decade has revolutionized how

people

consume and share information, but

this

has developed many issues that were not possible in the past.

Although

there will undoubtedly be some negative consequences of

this

trend, several viable solutions can be taken to mitigate these potential issues. There are a number of problems that have been created through the proliferation of the

Internet

. The

first

issue is that

children

often have access to inappropriate content, which can lead to young

people

committing crimes.

For example

,

children

can easily access potentially dangerous sites,

such

as pornography, because they can register with a site and claim to be adults.

Consequently

, immature brains can easily catch up with

such

information and develop negative characteristics and violent

them later in life. The

second

problem is that the

Internet

can result in an increase in some serious mental health issues among

people

around the

world

, especially younger ones.

This

is because they spend too much time on

websites

and completely lose connections with the real

world

to start living in a virtual

world

. The

World

Health Organization has recently revealed that

people

who chat or post on social media or other

websites

for more than 5 hours a day for five days a week are highly likely to develop severe depression, anxiety, or even suicidal

behaviors

However

, there are a number of actions that could be taken to solve the problems mentioned above.

Firstly

, governments should impose strict punishments,

such

as heavy fines or even prison sentences, on

people

, especially

children

, visiting illegal

websites

. The fear of

such

a stringent rule would prevent

children

from being influenced by negative information on the

Internet

, and

therefore

, the crime rates associated with adolescents would drop significantly.

Secondly

, it is necessary for governments to launch an international awareness campaign about the dangers and severe repercussions of the negative consequences of being online daily for many hours, and high-profile public figures, who are trusted by the general public, can

also

spread the message. If they are conscious of these detrimental impacts,

people

will stop the excessive use of the

Internet

, contributing to lesser

people

suffering from psychological diseases. In conclusion, juvenile crime and mental disorders are indispensable concerns of the

Internet

, and the feasible solutions would lie in implementing rigid penalties for accessing harmful

websites

, propaganda campaigns, and education
