For example , we can easily communicate with anyone in the world . Also , we can create groups with some applications . Then , when we complete these groups , we can share a problem , an event , or a situation with other users . As a result , when we do something on the Internet , it can even solve the problems in our life . besides these good things , there are also bad things . Someone could steal our accounts or viruses can enter our technological devices . Also , on the Internet , some things could directly or indirectly affect our health , not only physically , but also mentally and psychologically .
If we are using technological devices for a short time , they may have solutions . But nowadays there are many projects on virtual reality and the effects on the body can be enormous like eye pain , headache and more .

The future will be good .
