Abstract

The extensive use of new information technologies can have a profound impact on personal and cultural aspects. The virtual world can affect one's social life, behavior, education, and values due to the temptations of games, inappropriate content, and unknown individuals with hidden motives.  Understanding the relationship between the individual and his representation in the virtual environment requires in-depth comprehension of the virtual world inhabited by today's youth. Information technologies are a part of our daily lives, making it unquestionably important for adults, teenagers, and children to develop digital competencies. Systematic usage of these information resources can have positive and negative effects on the development of social intelligence.
