Internet Influence On Adolescents

Pages: 5 (1568 words) Sources: 6 Document Type:Essay Document #:37510468

...Prescription How Internet Addiction Impacts Teens Health
Introduction
The hypothesis of this study is that the Internet influence on adolescence can be negative in terms of mental, social and emotional health if Internet engagement is not moderated.
This research is important because more and more studies are showing that teenagers are getting addicted to technology, to mobile devices, to social media, and that they have not developed important communication skills needed for the real world.
