Social media and excessive internet use can negatively impact people's lives in several ways. It can affect health by causing issues like depression, anxiety, eye strain and sleep problems. It influences education by encouraging multitasking and time wasting among students, reducing their academic performance. Constant social media use also reduces real-life social interaction and harms people's communication skills. While social media allows people to feel connected online, overuse replaces real human contact and changes behavior in negative ways.
