Description
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly and visibly accelerated the digitisation of society, having transformed most areas of daily life. The digital turn has produced new virtual spaces that complement the traditional social spaces, so the new digital practices and the traditional ones coexist now more than ever. Exhaustion because of permanent videoconferences, self-exploitation due to the lack of distinction between leisure and work times, vamping, video dysmorphia, excess of (mis)information, and the absence of privacy and digital security are some of the consequences of this last digital turn. Actually, it can generate a hyperconnected, hyperactive, narcissistic and unequal society. In the same way that we have learned that washing our hands or maintaining interpersonal distance are measures to prevent the spread of the virus, it is necessary to adopt precautionary measures and digital hygiene, namely the improvement of digital skills, which minimise risks and turn them into opportunities.
