want to read and concentrate on productive work; instead they concentrate on using the various digital tools and resources. Working with the computer the whole day may cause eyes to start hurting, causing headache and backache. There is also a challenge of being frustrated when the Internet is down when most of the students’ classes are based on the computer…

Abstract— Bag of words model (BOW),which was originally used for document classification has been introduced to computer vision field recently and used in object recognition successfully. The bag of words model to the face recognition which can robustly give excellent performance in recognizing the face under various conditions like illumination, pose variation ,facial expression and occlusions. The scale Invariant Feature Transform is used for extracting the features from the face and SVM…

internet addiction is. According to Shaw and Black, “Internet addiction is characterized by excessive or poorly controlled preoccupations, urges or behaviors regarding computer use and internet access that lead to impairment or distress.” The advancement of technology allows for humans to use their smart phones, tablets, computers, and other devices whenever they want to.
