Emerging Trends in Media and Technology

Abstract

The accelerated development of new technologies profoundly affects human society, offering many facilities of rapid communication but also generating challenges (Szabo, 2021).This phenomenon ‘has led to the rapid accrual of academic work mapping potential links between time spent on digital screens and well-being outcomes’ (Orben, 2020). Following close behind, there has been ‘a rise in systematic reviews and meta-analyses examining the impact of digital technology use’ (Orben, 2020). Our issue looks into media and technology trends in different contexts.
