The excessive use of the internet

Good day everyone!
Today, I was working on my writing again and I was practising with an exercise from my IELTS book.
Please let me know your suggestions about my writing. This area is my weakness, I guess, so I will appreciate your support.
Thank you in advance :D


The popularity of people using the internet has created a variety of consequences in the psychological and physical health of humans. In my opinion, the solutions with a preventive approach to avoid being a victim of these drawbacks could be beneficial.

Navigating over the web can be useful for a lot of purposes such as studying a language or communicating with people who are far away from us. Nevertheless, the excessive use of the internet could have effects on psychological health. For instance, there are people who feel less interested in going out with friends because it is easier to stay at home and watch a movie. This behaviour could lead to the development of mental illnesses such as depression. A possible solution could be to make a daily plan for our activities which includes the time we should spend using the internet. This has positive effects because can we put clear limits on our actions.

Another disadvantage is related to physical effects of which some of the most common are vision problems and backaches. For example, when I used my gadgets for 2 hours without a break, my eyes start tearing and this makes me need to stop. Also, my muscles are too tense due to being in the same position for prolonged periods of time. An effective strategy is to exercise daily because with this simple habit people stay away from their cellphone at least for 30 minutes.

In conclusion, it is a fact that the internet is exceedingly fashionable to use nowadays. However, excessive use of it could create psychological and physical problems for people but preventive measures could be effective for avoiding them.
