The cyber effect

The Internet, smartphones and social networks have greatly changed the way we live together, and to most people this seems quite normal. Many write about the advantages of digital networking, but few about the disadvantages.In a prominent position, cyberpsychologist Mary Aiken fights against the increasing dependence on games, apps and gimmicks that keep people away from real life. She not only draws on her wealth of experience in dealing with cybercriminals, but also vividly reports on the dangers that everyone is exposed to in everyday life today - as soon as they have online access.Her passionate admonition to protect children and young people in particular from the constant mirroring and self-reflection in the screen deserves more than just shrugging acknowledgement. At the latest when the author reports on connections between digital use and behavioral disorders, loneliness, ADHD, bullying attacks, sexual extremes and social blunting, her call for regulation of the Internet becomes comprehensible.
