Technology and ITS Influences in Adolescence: A Literature Review

Currently much has been discussed about the use of technologies and the impacts of the excessive use of them by adolescents. Current adolescence has been increasingly connected with the technological world, and consequently, behaviors that were previously not perceived or often recognized, are seen, for example, the development of technology-related addictions. Thus, the present study aims to discuss the consequences of the indiscriminate use of digital technologies by adolescents. This research is bibliographic, being developed from other studies already produced on the subject. The main results stand out: family conflicts resulting from distancing and lack of dialogue; the predominance of superficial relationships and false intimacy and the illusion that anything is possible; learning difficulties arising from internet dependence, anxiety disorders, and attention deficit.
