Summary/Abstract: This article aims to highlight the influence that digital media have on human life, but especially on his spiritual life. It is an interdisciplinary work, which treats this subject from both a scientific and a theological point of view. One of the great challenges of the times we live in is to properly understand the relationship between man and technology. People have suddenly found themselves in a new, more complicated and complex universe, increasingly dominated by technology. Technology has made its way into every aspect of people's lives and most of the activities they do, in a subtle and rapid way. Looking at how fast this is happening, we can tell that it is becoming difficult to adapt. It is very easy to forget the balance between what is really useful for life and its sanctity, and what is produced exclusively for pleasure, entertainment, strong experiences, etc. which can lead to addiction.
