Abstract

The internet has become a part of our daily lives in the last two decades. And due to the advanced technology and widespread use of mobile devices, the internet has become more accessible, worthwhile, and informative than ever (Moretta & Boudo, 2020). Internet access is now available in various places such as homes, schools, public areas, and cafes (Ferraro, Caci, D’Amico & Blasi, 2006). The accessibility of online activities makes it very easy to connect to the virtual world anytime, anywhere. Which can make young people spend more time online (El Asam, Samara & Terry, 2019). This rapid growth of digital technology has affected almost every part of people's daily lives. So, technological applications are distributed to almost every domain in ,lkpeople's social lives (Tudorel et al., 2019). Technology includes information components such as e-libraries, distance learning and online social networks, and other mobile communications (Fernandez-Villa et al.,2015). It also includes games, watching movies, browsing information, posting photos, and reading the news (Yaffe & Seroussi, 2019). and a place where social interactions, information exchange, and entertainment are discussed (Evren, Evren, Dalbudak, Topcu & Kutlu, 2019).
