diseases associated with lifestyles such as ERS deficiency and fail to develop
interpersonal skills. Along with these factors, constantly sitting in front of a computer
screen can severely damage our eyes and put pressure on our neck and shoulders.
Children are in their formative years, and these factors can cause them lifelong problems.
Internet games make children more violent. There are a lot of internet games that contain
