Summary/Abstract: Nowadays danger might take multiple forms. When we are thinking of the 21st century, the first thing that comes up in our minds it’s symbolized by technology. I am especially referring to social media. The place where beautiful opportunities might appear, amazing friendships might get started but also dangerous sequences might get in our ways. From my point of view, the entire humankind is pressed by social media and its negative effects. In the essay below, I am discussing the negative effects of technology upon our lives and the bad consequences of our actions that involve the internet. What started as the Supreme Good took an unexpected turn against us. We are living times where the Creation dominates the Creator and as time goes by our chances to psychologically survive this cybernetic war considerably decrease. Our real and actual chance is now so we have to act accordingly.
