Summary/Abstract: New technologies and social media significantly shape modern society. The development of smartphones, social networks, and communication apps has enabled faster information exchange and connectivity among people worldwide. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter not only facilitate social interactions but also allow users to express their opinions and creativity. However, the use of social media also presents challenges, such as the spread of misinformation, cyberbullying, and decreased privacy. Additionally, the impact on mental health, particularly among young people, is becoming increasingly evident. In this context, it is essential to develop media literacy so users can critically analyze information. By doing so, new technologies can become tools for societal improvement rather than challenges.
