                  Disadvantages of the Internet

                  While the Internet offers many benefits, overuse can lead to several drawbacks. Here are some
                  key disadvantages:
                  Cyber Crimes

                  Cybercrime refers to illegal activities conducted using computers or the Internet. As Internet
                  use has increased, issues such as cyber threats, stalking, and cyberbullying have become more
                  common. Criminal organisations often exploit the Internet for their activities because it is less
                  costly and more sophisticated than traditional methods. Some individuals misuse the Internet
                  to exploit others by sharing private photos or engaging in blackmail.
                  Health Problems

                  Spending too much time online, whether gaming or browsing, can lead to health issues such as
                  obesity and an unhealthy lifestyle. Prolonged computer use can also cause back and shoulder
                  pain, headaches, and eye strain.
