“…Socialization is crucial to the progression from adolescence to adulthood, and use of social media may have profound influence on this adjustment (Wood et al 2016). Applying John Bowlby's psychanalytic theory, Oldmeadow and colleagues (2013) found that people with attachment anxiety were more likely to turn to Facebook for emotional support.…”

“…These scenarios have become common in many homes, yet little is known about how each of these children thinks about the internet‐based devices that they see and use. Over the past few decades, the majority of research on children's understanding and use of technology has focused on older children and adolescents, and has emphasized issues such as social media use (e.g., Best, Manktelow, & Taylor, ; Wood, Bukowski, & Lis, ) and cyber safety (e.g., boyd & Marwick, 2009; Mishna, Cook, Saini, Wu, & MacFadden, ). However, in many communities, children are exposed to computers, tablets, smartphones, and other internet‐based technological devices starting at birth, and they begin using these devices not long afterwards.…”

Children are increasingly exposed to devices that can access the internet, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, beginning early in life. This review summarizes current evidence regarding the understanding and use of internet‐based devices among children from birth through age 8, while highlighting gaps in the literature and opportunities for future research. The first section describes children's access to internet‐based devices, and discusses the role that parents play in mediating children's access to internet‐based devices. The second section describes children's developing understanding of how internet‐based devices work and what they can do, and how capable children are of accessing information from the internet using these devices. The third section discusses potential implications of children's use of internet‐based devices for children's cognitive development, with an emphasis on the development of memory, metacognition, and exploration.

“…Recent studies by foreign scientists confirm that there is nothing unique in this habit of Russian youth. The scientific works of foreign sociologists show that young people in the USA and Europe also use the Internet very actively [1] and often tend to perceive it as the main source of information [2]. Moreover, some authors even mention specific cases of using the Internet to control the attitude and behavior of young people.…”

The paper is devoted to an empirical analysis of the role of the Internet in the everyday reality of Russian youth. The author notes that the unusual speed of the Internet spread in the life of Russian society made the circumstances of growing up of modern young Russians very specific. In fact, they became the first generation of Russiaǹ`d igital natives''. Growing up in the conditions of the rapid spread of the Internet in society, many of them are used to perceiving the Internet as a natural and inalienable attribute of everyday reality. The author uses materials of secondary data analysis and the data of his sociological research among Russian youth to determine the role of the Internet in the social reality of youth and to find out the possible risks and opportunities that it can create. The empirical basis of the study is a questionnaire survey conducted by the author in 2018 among the youth of the city of Ekaterinburg, Russia. The key conclusion of the article is that the Internet is deeply integrated into the social reality of modern Russian youth. The growing importance of the Internet in life is a source of a number of risks, which include the formation of Internet addiction, increasing the vulnerability of young people to destructive content and the formation of a communicative gap between representatives of different generations. The Internet can also be used to broadcast information to a youth audience, to organize cooperation among young people, to popularize good practices and for other purposes.
