The World Wide Web: between new identities and loneliness

The Internet is the protagonist of the quiet scientific and social revolution that is constantly changing our way of communicating, living, producing as well as our behavior. In addition to the number of forms of individual self-activation, of creativity, and of communal socialization, and to the development of cooperation and inclusion practices, the risks of superficiality, loss of historic memory and of the sense of reality are also increasing, with new forms of digital and social isolation as their possible consequences. Important studies will be referenced in this conversation on ambivalence in the use of the Internet and of social networks, and on the socialization-loneliness dilemma.
