Addiction To Digital Drugs: Causes And Prevention Methods

Abstract

This study addresses a new social phenomenon that results from the misuse of digital tools— digital drugs. They are brought by the modern information revolution and aim to undermine society and negatively impact the user's psychology. They involve a set of sounds or tones that can cause brain changes and impair consciousness in a manner similar to the effects of real drugs. Digital drugs affect the user's psychological and social life, their family, and community. Therefore, educational institutions should raise youth's awareness about the effect of this phenomenon on their health, their families, and society as a whole.
