Prolonged Internet Use and Fatigue among Youth

Abstract

In the wake of Covid-19 pandemic, youth in our country have been using the Internet for extended periods of time. This paper analyzes the relationship between prolonged use and youth fatigue based on data from a cross-sectional survey we conducted between 2021 and 2022. It is known that Internet use for entertainment purposes, such as playing online games and watching videos, is becoming longer, but we would like to call attention to the fact that prolonged use for learning is also fatiguing in its own way.
