| Abstract | Mediji su sustavi javnog informiranja ljudi. U medije ubrajamo novine, radio, televiziju, Internet, društvene mreže, itd. Danas imaju velik utjecaj na stanovništvo jer utječu na stvaranje mišljenja i uvjerenja pojedinaca. Društvene mreže su vrsta digitalnih medija. U današnje vrijeme su vrlo korištene i popularne. Nastale su u 90-im godinama 20.-og stoljeća, a prvom takvom mrežom se smatra e-mail. Danas je dostupan velik broj različitih društvenih mreža ali najčešće s koriste Facebook, Instagram, Twitter i Whatsapp. Društvene mreže imaju mnoge prednosti, kao npr. mogućnost komunikacije s osobama koje su nam udaljene, objavljivanje slobodnih radnih mjesta, promoviranje različitih brandova i novih proizvoda, itd. S druge strane tu su i mane društvenih mreža, npr. prevare, zloporaba privatnih podataka, nastanak lažnih profila, itd. Danas se sve svodi na tipkanje i komunikaciju putem društvenih mreža te upravo zbog toga djeca i mladi sve manje izlaze i druže se. Mobiteli su u svakom trenutku uz ljude te su upravo zbog toga ljudi u svakom trenutku dostupni na društvenim mrežama. Korištenje društvenih mreža ima mnogo negativnih posljedica na djecu i mlade, a to su najčešće nesanica, depresija i ovisnost. Korištenje društvenih mreža povećalo se pojavom pandemije COVID-19 virusa i određenih mjera koje nam je pandemija donijela. Uvođenjem distance i izolacija, ljudi su stvarali virtualni kontakt s prijateljima i obitelji. Tijekom pandemije na društvenim mrežama je stanovništvu bio dostupan velik broj informacija, omogućeno izvođenje online nastave i posla putem audio i video poziva, ali s druge strane tu su i neke mane npr. velik broj dezinformacija i kruženje teorija zavjere. Provedena anketa ukazuje kako velik broj mladih koristi i provodi puno vremena na društvenim mrežama. Većina ispitanika je neutralna kada je u pitanju utjecaj društvenih mreža na njih same ali se slažu da negativno utječu na mentalno zdravlje djece i mladih. Ispitanici smatraju da su se tijekom pandemije povećali korištenje društvenih mreža, slažu se da su društvene mreže poslužile kao snažan alat u informiranju stanovništva o aktualnim temama vezanim uz pandemiju ali su nailazili i na brojne dezinformacije i teorije zavjere te su čak razmišljali i o povlačenju s društvenih mreža jer su informacije o pandemiji bile glavna tema. |
| Abstract (english) | The media are public information systems for people. The media includes newspapers, radio, television, Internet, social networks, etc. Today they have a big impact on the population because they affect the creation of opinions and beliefs of individuals. Social networks are a type of digital media, and nowadays they are very used and popular.They were created in the 1990 s in the 20 th century, and the first such network is considered an email. Today, a large number of different social networks are available but most often with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and WhatsApp. Social networks have many advantages, such as the possibility of communication with people who are far away, the publication of job vacancies, promotion of different brands and new products, IDT. On the other hand, there are also disadvantages of social networks, such as fraud, abuse of private data, the creation of false profiles. Today it all comes down to typing and communicating through social networks, and that is why children and young people are coming out less and socializing. Mobile phones are with people at all times and that is why people are available on social networks at all times. The use of social networks has many negative consequences on children and youth, most often insomnia, depression and addiction. The use of social networks has increased with the emergence of a COVID-19 virus pandemic and certain measures that the pandemic has brought to us. By introducing distance and isolation, people have created virtual contact with friends and family. During the social media pandemic, a large number of information was available to the population, providing online teaching and work through audio and video calls, but on the other hand, there are some faults such as a large number of disinformation and circulating conspiracy theories. A poll suggests that a large number of young people benefit and spend a lot of time on social networks. Most respondents are neutral when it comes to the impact of social networks on them themselves, but agree that they have a negative impact on the mental health of children and youth. Respondents believe that the use of social networks has increased during the pandemic, they agree that social networks have served as a powerful tool to inform the population about current pandemicrelated topics, but they also encountered numerous disinformation and conspiracy theories and even considered withdrawing from social networks because information about the pandemic was the main topic. |
