The problematic internet use in Pakistan

Abstract

The revolution of smart devices, and smart objects has dramatically improved the usability of the Internet around the world. It’s happening, and over the last few decades, we’ve seen such a dynamic the Internet trend. The increasing use of the Internet today has played a very significant role in the compulsion of the Internet. It can affect the educational, psychological, medical, and social well- being of the user. The Internet restriction in developing countries like Pakistan are becoming more severe, and the public is not fully aware of the Internet usage. The current COVID-19 and subsequent lockdowns situation have further raised the level of the Internet coercion in developing countries like Pakistan. This treatise explores existing literature, social dilemmas, and problematic Internet use in Pakistan. We look forward to formally analyzing the literature and conducting pilot studies to make further contributions to this issue.
