Efectos psicológicos del uso y abuso de la tecnología multimedia en jóvenes de entre 15 y 18 años durante el desarrollo psicosocial.

Abstract

We live in an interconnected society that, more than ever in quarantine times, needs to have access to electronic devices that allow it to be part of the virtual world. It is undeniable that technological advances have affected the way of thinking and acting of everyone, but especially of the younger generations. This research investigates the use and abuse that a population of 15- to 18-year-old students give to the internet, specifically multimedia technologies, and the effects this has on their psychosocial development. In the first place, a historical review is made of how technology and substance use have accompanied the human being throughout its existence. Afterwards, a comprehensive bibliographic review is carried out on basic and higher psychological processes and psychosocial development to evaluate the possible negative and positive effects that excessive consumption of multimedia content may have.
