We have already seen and internalized the fact that social networks cause a great deal of tension and pressure, especially among teenagers.
The use of Facebook, Instagram and tic-tac-toe puts teens in a constant race after the expensive, fashionable, trendy, and anyone or anything not in these categories, may find themselves ostracized.

Now, a new concern is troubling the US medical system after asking a significant number of doctors across the country, mostly young patients arrived, who as a result of the mental effects due to the multiple use of the tic-tac-toe app - began to develop involuntary convulsions (tics). Or as doctors defined it, mild cases of Tourette's syndrome.
The side effects of the tort usually include involuntary spasms in the face, involuntary repetition of words and sentences and even involuntary voices, such as shouting, whistling and even cursing and insults. However, doctors are not convinced that this is the only reason.
Some doctors believe that this phenomenon is typical of situations of anxiety or uncertainty, and that the corona period we are in is a major and obvious cause of such symptoms, but on the other hand they are reassuring that this phenomenon is not permanent and can be treated with a series of supportive treatments.
