According to a recent study, the poor mental health effects of the Internet have disappeared. The psychologist who conducted both studies said that either the Internet has changed or people have learned to use it more constructively. So you might not be depressed any more, but using the Internet still might make you a bit edgy. The report concludes that the Internet is still a great source of stress for some people.
