With chapters delving into smartphone addiction, the impact of technology on cognitive development, threats such as cyberbullying, online predators, and the dark web, this book shines a revelatory light on the often-overlooked aspects of our online existence. This comprehensive work also dedicates chapters to the internet’s role in fuelling anxiety and hypochondria, the emergence of cyber dating and romance, and the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), among other crucial topics.
