TEA Talk: Social Networks & Us, the Young People?

Cyberbullying, Sexting, Cyberbullying, Online Grooming, Online Violence, and Happy Slapping are new terms that are becoming more frequent in our day-to-day.

We live in an era of constant technological and digital transformations, the transfer and access to information are easier in many countries of the world. Now with mobile technology, artificial intelligence, and connectivity, young people can connect and immerse themselves from anywhere on the Internet at any time or place.

In the face of all these advances, we wonder if it is we who control the technology, or is it who controls us? The data in April 2020 shows that because of the confinement by COVID19, the use of social networks has increased, with young people between 16 and 24 years of age having the highest percentage of users worldwide.

Faced with an attractive, addictive world, in constant reinvention and therefore unknown as the Internet and social networks are, we need to know how to immerse ourselves in them. So we ask ourselves, are we young people prepared for these changes? Do we know how to analyze all the information? Are we critical of what we see on social media?
