Internet: some collateral effects

Abstract

Since the last decades of the twentieth century, the world has been in a process of
radical change. The constant technological innovations assimilated into our lives
generate impacts on our existence and the meaning we assign to it. Historically, as
new technologies are introduced, changes occur in social structure and penetrate the
private life of individuals causing important changes at the most subjective level.
In this brief exposition, we have tried to show evidence based on observation that in
spite of its positive potential the interaction with new technology can bring
collateral effects such as: stress, isolation, depression, phisical problems,
etc..
