Children Dominated by Screens

Abstract

The article aims to provide the fact that our online social interactions have intensified and digital technology has established itself as the essential element for the survival of our species. As we can see, the line between learning time and screen time has become very blurred, reaching more than seven hours of connection per day on average. The article highlights in a unique way that more and more children have been caught up and have fallen into a destructive, stupefying and futile addiction, which can lead to depression. In this sense, to better use digital communication tools and to no longer let yourself be consumed by them, you need to understand how to use digital. The history of technologies allows us to understand the new modalities that result from them and the civilizational, anthropological and political disorders that now affect our societies. The purpose of my article is to show how new technologies influence children's mental health, the education, the role of parents, the respect for private life, how from consumers they become products.The main methods used in the study are observation and case study. The article is important and valuable for parents, children, but also for scientists, researchers in social sciences and more, because it provides a clear picture of the changes that are taking place globally and a possible perspective on the future.
