 The Internet quickly became a socio-technical phenomenon that received a lot of media coverage. It had and will have a determined impact on society and its future. People are attracted to this phenomenon and dedicate a lot of time to it, changing ways of working or affecting human interaction. Will the relationships between people be the same, or will everyone prefer to work in their own digital space? What do these changes represent for society and family life?

The adoption of a new culture will lead to a disastrous disintegration of national values. Loss of identity (Alienation and the loss of one's own culture will inevitably lead to the loss of identity.)Human reactions regarding everything IT technology means have remained unclear until now.
