impact, ICT.


The current generation of teenagers is often called

"networked". Many children have access to the
Internet and social networks and use them for games,
communication with friends, family and strangers,
learning,

searching

for

information

and

entertainment.

The concept of "social networks" (in relation to

social networks in Internet) is used in a fairly broad
context, which often leads to the blurring of the term
itself. Social networks often include forums, dating
sites, online games, and even sites where it is simply
possible to create your own "profile". The most
common definition says: "A social network is a
multi-user website, the content of which is handled
by the network participants themselves" [1]. To the
characteristic features of social networks, allowing to
distinguish these resources from others, include: 1)
opportunity creating individual user profiles; 2) the
ability of users to interact (by viewing each other's

profiles, internal mail, comments, etc.); 3) the ability
to achieve a joint goal through cooperation (for
example, through the creation of interest groups
within social networks.); 4) the ability to exchange
resources (for example, information); 5) the ability to
meet needs by accumulating resources (for example,
by participating in a social network, you can acquire
new acquaintances and thereby satisfy the need for
communication) [4]. Strictly speaking, this set of
features also does not allow us to clearly delineate the
boundaries of the concept, in this case, attention is
focused on the main function of social networks – the
establishment and maintenance of social ties.

The positive side of using electronic means of

communication can be communication, a sense of
support, a sense of friendship, social competence,
awareness-raising and other aspects.

Abuse of social networks is associated with the

possible appearance of insomnia, anxiety, aggressive
behavior and other problems.

Moreover, the accessibility of teenagers to various

media networks increases the risk of harassment and
intimidation via the Internet, the so-called cyber
bullying.

According to the latest data, 59.6% of the time on

the Internet teenagers spend on social networks.
These sites and messengers are of great importance
for the youth - here they form their opinion about
what is happening in the world, make new
acquaintances,

self-actualize

and

share

their

innermost. Can a virtual society harm children, what
are the signs of dependence on addiction to social
networks and how to protect a child?

The Internet Development Fund reports that about

80% of children and adolescents in the CIS consider
themselves regular users of social networks. Active
communication via such services begins from the age
of 8-9 - when a child cannot yet sensibly assess the
risks and consequences of his actions on the Internet.
If 4-6 years old children use gadgets mainly under the

supervision of their parents, then older boys and girls
risk becoming dependent on the phone and social
networks. Some interesting facts about the Internet:

- about 247 billion emails are sent over the

network every day;

- about 300 hours of video footage are uploaded

to YouTube every minute. Moreover, YouTube
checks about 100 years of videos for copyright
compliance every day;

- virtual dating brings in an annual income of $

2.2 billion;

- twitter users post 500 million tweets every day;
- every day we use only a small part of the

Internet. Most of what people are looking for on the
web is on its surface, but it's just a grain of sand
compared to what is not indexed by well-known
search engines;

- every day hackers break into 30,000 sites.

Hidden threats of internet.
Information "junk”. Not all information in social

networks benefits and develops. A significant part of
the content consists of “yellow", entertaining posts,
Attractively packaged, but completely unnecessary
information drags the child's attention and time. And
even takes away health, because dependence on the
phone and social networks, excessive consumption of
information are associated with high loads on the
nervous system!

Less sleep and more oxytocin. Children who are

passionate about social networks “push back" sleep
and other useful activities in order to learn more,

communicate more. This behavior leads to increased
production of the hormone oxytocin, which is
responsible for empathy and trust. "Networked"
children are more sensitive and may trust the people
who deserveit at all.

Deterioration of social skills. Your ability to

communicate and write can not only be improved,
but also worsened in social networks. In messengers,
children ignore syntax and punctuation. They express
emotions with stickers and parasitic words and forget
how important facial expressions, intonation and
”pronouncing" emotions are for others in the real
world. This often makes children unpredictable,
impatient, short-tempered and intolerant.

Real life skills also suffer, which turn out to be

“not needed” in order to receive attention and
admiration in the virtual world. 27% of children who
are addicted to the phone and social networks also
have communication disorders.

Reduced information management skills. There is

so much information that children simply cannot
spend time trying to understand it. Therefore, they
trust what they read too easily, and their ability to
think logically gradually decreases.

The conflict between expectations and reality.

Friends acquired on the social network may not be
the ones they pretend to be. And the enthusiastic

attitude of social media users can contrast sharply
with the attitude of peers at school. The influence of
social networks on a child can make him withdrawn
and even cause depression.

Inappropriate content and other threats. Drugs,

alcohol and tobacco products, adult materials,
electronic payment systems and other unwanted
requests account for 0.3-0.5% of the total number of
Internet searches made with children. Over 60% of
children under the age of 14 have encountered such
materials at least once, about 19% see or view them
regularly. And social networks are no exception.
Here the child can see what he should not know by
age

“get

on

the

money”

or

fac.

intruders.

Cyber bullying. The behavior of peers in social

networks can also be not harmless. And if a child can
hide from real offline offenders or go to another

school, he can’t hide from virtual ones. They will
find him anywhere. Every time a young user enters
the network, he will comes across their abusive
messages, posts, comments and mentions.

In addition to the mentioned threats, there is a risk

of teenagers' addiction to the social networks. This
problem requires separate consideration.

What harm is hidden in the dependence of

children on social networks?

The

vulnerable

and

unstable

psyche

of

adolescents is especially vulnerable to addictions -
and dependence on social networks is no exception.
The desire to assert themselves, the lack of real-life
experience, psychological trauma and an unfavorable
environment - all this increases the risk of children's
dependence on social networks, which has already
been recognized as a psychological disorder.

Dependence on public opinion and inflated

standards. Likes and approving comments can
become doping for a child. The expectation of praise
from social network users is a powerful tool for
forming dependence on social networking. At the
same time, the child attaches great importance to
negative comments from envious or sarcastic
commentators with a sense of their own inferiority.
The influence of social networks on the child is not
only in the comments addressed to the user himself,
but in that he can many cases it is in the content he is
reading. Comparing themselves with the network
ideals of beauty and social success, children begin to
suffer from low self-esteem, the syndrome of missed
opportunities. Amount of 82% of teenagers using
social networks are dissatisfied with their appearance.
The figure is almost twice as higher than number of
those who do not use them!

Violations of posture and healthy functioning of

the nervous system. Vision, nervous system and
cervical spine suffer from chronic overloads. In
addition, Internet-dependent children are less mobile

than their peers, which increases their susceptibility
to diseases associated with inactivity.

Increased

vulnerability

to

cybercriminals.

Children with low self-esteem who seek support
online become more vulnerable to harassment and
manipulation that attackers can take advantage of.
Blackmail, theft of personal information, sexting
(sending intimate data), ridicule - all this is a
common practice among scammers and mentally
unhealthy netizens.

Feeling lonely and depressed. Paradoxically,

social media communication only increases the
feeling of loneliness. The interlocutor, whom you
cannot reach, with whom you cannot go to the

cinema or hug in a friendly way, only masks the real
lack of intimacy.

The waste of time. Less study and sports, less

communication with parents and friends - teenagers'
dependence on social networks devours the child's
time, leaving him no opportunities for self-
development. He is constantly hiding in the comfort
zone from solving real everyday difficulties and
gaining valuable experience.

This is to recommend following measures to be

taken to timely resolve the issues of raising the
information culture of consumption and the goals of
using ICT to young people, children ???:


1. In view of the fact that modern information

technology has the property of radically changing the

experience of using ICT and raising the culture of
information consumption of young people, carrying

topics as" the source of knowledge"," the culture of
internet use " (media education, media literacy,
information literacy), and to make methodological
recommendations aimed at the effective use of the
internet and the formation of information immunity
in children, to conduct seminars and various quizzes
with the participation of schoolchildren and measures
to conduct presentations of multimedia products This,
in turn, will serve the effective use of the children's
internet, and not for entertainment;

3. Particular attention should be paid to the issue

of educating young people on the rules of using the
Internet and mobile communications, notifying them

manuals in cooperation with the Ministry of Health,
the Ministry of public education and pedagogical
higher educational institutions every quarter;

4. To increase the computer, information, and

media literacy of school teachers and the use of
internet in children to develop culture, as well as to
establish continuous educational courses to protect

the formation of skills of preparation of independent
presentations on specific topics with the help of
computer and multimedia tools for educational
processes in the school and their implementation in

schoolchildren in the educational institution to work

13. In educational institutions, it is necessary to

create and provide electronic software products,
educational sites, portals, video audio products,
multimedia

electronic

textbooks,

instructional

shavers, teaching houses, virtual laboratories,
software of technical devices, manuals on their use
and teaching, etc.;

14. The works to be carried out on the territory of

the domain "Uz" in order to receive information,
exchange information, expand the possibilities of
downloading electronic books in the Uzbek language,

The number of children's Internet users is

growing every year. At the same time, most of them
receive information without adult supervision. Effects
these patterns are unpredictable. To prevent this
trend, you just need to be more attentive to your child
and spend as much time with him as possible.
Attention to the child's life and the desire to
understand his problems is the key to the success of
education.
