The benefits of the digital world are : Social Connectivity-Digital technology makes it easy to stay in
touch with friends, family, and work remotely, even if you are in another part of the world.
Entertainment-The entire entertainment industry and the way that people amuse themselves
has been radically transformed since the start of the internet revolution. Low Cost -Aside from
paying for an internet service and the basics like a modem, much of what the digital world offers
can be accessed for free.News- Increasing numbers of people get their news online, either via a
website or social media. Even traditional news media, such as TV and radio, have been
digitalized. People have more options for news sources than ever, and most of it is available 24
hours per day. Independent and do-it-yourself journalism is now very common, as well as
ordinary people taking photos and videos on their phones at locations where a news event is
taking place. Communication Speeds - Internet speeds have increased exponentially since the
early days of dial-up. Ever faster broadband enables the transfer of large amounts of
information across the web almost instantaneously, making it possible to stream video and
audio in real-time, send large data files, and access data from virtually anywhere in the world.
Traditional media communication can take much longer.

Negative Effects - Social media and mobile devices may lead to psychological and physical
issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty focusing on important tasks. They may also contribute to
more serious health conditions, such as depression. The overuse of technology may have a
more significant impact on developing children and teenagers.Increasingly, addiction to mobile
devices, addiction to social networking sites, such as Facebook, Instagram are prevalent in our
society. Excessive usage of these leads to withdrawal symptoms such as feeling anger, tension,
and depression when Internet access is not available.
