These changes are not without effects on the individual but also on society as a whole, generating both phenomena of alienation and modifying social relations. The impact of technology on child and adolescent development has become a topic of major concern over the past decade. Excessive use of technology also affects children's ability to self-regulate and self-control, as face-to-face interaction with friends and family, essential for the development of these skills, is reduced. Internet addiction and its excessive use is an increasingly present problem among children, having serious consequences on their socio-emotional life. Researched problem: constant exposure to digital devices and media seems to negatively influence aspects of both children's growth and education. To manage this addiction, it is crucial that parents are aware of these behaviors and provide appropriate support and guidance. However, it is not enough to replace the time spent with children with rare and quality moments.
