The Internet is the mean of getting information and getting close to the world. But some people have considered it as only to kill time.

Not hours, but people spend a whole day on the Internet without knowing the time. This addiction is very bad for health.

2. Social Media Addiction

Social media is another addiction that is not normal, but society has accepted it. The social media craze is increasing day by day. And there is no gender discrimination in this addiction. Both gender love to create accounts on all social media apps and do their best to keep them updated and increase followers. In this, they do not enjoy real life.

Adults are also victims of these addictions.

And people do spend large amounts to look more beautiful than others.
