search new places, to quest updated research, and to get knowledge for learnng. The person around the world can
communicate with each other through the Google video conference talk. Internet is frequently used in smartphones, laptops,
desktop, and tablet. Excessive affinity towards internet-based online data collection, downloading pictures, videos, cyber
relationships, and social media may produce addiction disorders followed by different symptoms such as behaviors change,
mind disturbance, depression, anxiety, loss of appetite hyperactivity, sleeping disorder, headache, visual fatigueness,
trafficking of memory, attention-deficit, loss of efficiency in work and social detachment which may be caused by an
imbalance of neurotransmitters. This is very difficult to control because of abnormal signal transduction in the brain. The
