The internet has come a long way. Many of us will remember a time in the early noughties when sending letters by post was still the norm, and receiving an email was a novelty. From its infancy some 20 years ago to the present, the pace at which technological change has made advancements has taken many by surprise. Few held mobile devices, and even fewer had access to the World Wide Web. Mobile phones, primarily developed as a tool of communication replacing the outdated fixed landlines, have now metamorphosed into a micro-computing device enabling us to carry out a host of functions from paying one's bills and booking a travel ticket to education and even entertainment. The non-exhaustive list can extend to satiate users' fancies. Without the internet, the devices would be akin to paperweights. It is now a world dominated by the internet; this ubiquitous presence that manifests itself as an indispensable part of our day to day life has successfully masked itself as a benign boon companion. But behind this approachable front lies a luring quality that users find unable to let go of. Despite its multi-dimensional application, the ills of the internet have, on balance, entrenched a more visible negative impact on our mental wellbeing.
