Uso de dispositivos eletrônicos & redes sociais digitais: possíveis efeitos positivos e colaterais

Abstract

Cyberspace is growing at an accelerated pace, having an increasing audience in relation to the mass media. The diversity of digital social networks attracts more and more users. Electronic devices with high technologies are increasingly accessible to society, such as Smartphones, which became the main support for virtual browsing. Applications, softwares and other technological and virtual innovations arouse the curiosity of internet users regarding the usability of devices and networks, expressed through the exposure to screens and sharing of digital content. This generates several positive results and side effects on users, who usually interact aiming at fun and entertainment, wasting the attention and time that could be better spent. In this context, a selection of posts was carried out on the social-aesthetic-digital network Pinterest aiming at the identification, analysis and classification of new forms of content that provide not only entertainment and fun, but also knowledge and learning; creativity and aesthetic pleasure; in addition to encouraging online and offline activities.
