Description:
The technological evolution, and especially of social media, has come with tremendous advantages for the citizens: internet connections, access to infinite information at practically no costs, possibilities of connecting and finding people we never knew but which have common problems and common aspirations or beliefs. At the same time, even though we begin to use extensively technology and social media at the very early ages, nobody undertook the needed social and psychological studies linked with the consequences of this tremendous evolution. And the fact is that those evolutions are coming with a lot of added values for our day by day life, but also with shortcomings or at least changes in our preferences, behaviour and choices. They made the world look differently in a matter of some years, and that created difficulties for the institutions, for the leadership as well as for the politicians to adapt. (The authors)
