Explanation

The problems tied to excessive internet use are addiction, depression, distraction and agitation.

Statement 1 addiction is the compulsive, uncontrolled use that marks internet overuse.

Statement 2 depression links to the mood decline associated with heavy online engagement.

Statement 3 distraction reflects the scattered attention caused by constant connectivity.

Statement 4 agitation captures the restlessness and irritability that overuse can bring.

Knowledge of mass media is a beneficial outcome, not a harm of excessive use, so it stays out of this set.

Such compulsive use is studied under the head of internet addiction disorder.
