Summary/Abstract: Nowadays, more and more people find it challenging to live without their laptops or phones. Society has shaped our interactions in such a way that its individuals have to be easy to be reached at any time, their personal contacts have to be available at any time. This age of instant information and instant interconnection of human beings has become known as the era of the ”global village.” In this era, our whole world has shrinked to the size of a virtual village, a shrinkage caused by information technology. The enhanced acceleration of information transfer and the capacity of people to get in touch with others, from different strata of society, to show their reactions to global events quickly make us more and more aware of the consequences of our (virtual) actions.
