Abstract:

The emerging of digital era has increased the speed of knowledge transmission towards society thus determining people to act accordingly in order to keep on with the fast rhythm of e-knowledge development. As a consequence, social networks are increasingly present in our daily life. But how is that influencing the quality of our life, especially of teenagers’ life? Aiming to find the answer, a qualitative research has been performed and that has revealed that the usage of social networks is influencing people’s life both in positive and negative ways, sometimes in an unexpected manner. Within this study, the authors highlight that even digital era represents a huge step towards society development, and economic and social life are becoming more and more linked to it, we all should be aware that there is a point where the intervention of technology in our daily life should be stopped and machines/virtual reality cannot fully take the place of human being.
