Abstract: This article seeks to study and explain the effects of Internet on economy, human life and society. Since the invention of internet in 1983, the world has seen rapid growth in business and globalisation, and with markets opening up, the competition in the field resulted in providing Internet access to everyone across the globe. This article initially focuses on different use of Internet, how it has changed the course of politics, marketing, education etc. Lack of regulations in this field has already proved fatal to countries with leak of private data and meddling in election campaigns, spread of fake news, to name a few. This article then tries to develop understanding and create awareness about psychological and health problems arising out of excess, unchecked use of Internet. Various noted psychologist have tried to explain how the Internet not only deteriorated the thinking process but has also changed the way of our thinking and is negatively shaping our interpersonal relationships. Lastly, it recommends some guidelines and structure to be followed while making appropriate guidelines in this field.
