Internet Addiction and Phone Dependence: Measurements, Influencing factors, and Effects

Abstract

The article begins with a definition and assessment of phone dependence and Internet addiction. After going into detail about the causes of these addictions, the article goes into detail about the effects of phone dependence from both a mental and physical standpoint. The damage to the headache and eye issues are really common for long-term phone users. Moreover, even though the use of phones does good to mental health problems, especially social anxiety issues, phone dependence will get harder to reduce, which will cause other problems. The end of this review concludes with two research directions on phone reliance: how to lessen phone dependence and how to lessen the headache and social anxiety effects brought on by phones while maintaining the positive critical contribution of phones to humans.
