Sažetak
The speed of technology development has greatly changed the way of life, and
one of the most influential inventions that have arisen as a result of this development is social
networks. Social networks have changed the way young people communicate, enabling the
creation of online personas of their own lives, which young people then compare with other
users around the world. Although things change almost daily with the invention of new and
more interesting ways to use social networks, many experts agree that uncontrolled exposure
to such technologies affects the development of young people. A survey was conducted among
students in a Croatian elementary school, which showed that the habits of students in Croatia
do not differ much from those in the USA. Although the majority of Croatian students have
not noticed that social networks negatively affect their feelings and self-confidence, excessive
consumption of media content available on social networks can easily turn into addiction or
an unrealistic perception of life.
