WhatsApp, Skype, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, and Twitter are a few of the most well-known and frequently used virtual social networks. In young children and school-age populations have concentrated on the correlation between watching television and playing video games and academic achievement, demonstrating a detrimental impact on physical health. Children who watch television for more than two hours a day tend to perform worse academically and engage in less physical activity.
