O uso da internet e novas tecnologias numa sociedade conectada: possibilidades, desafios, perigos à luz da ética

Abstract

The theme of this work is the use of internet and the new technologies in contemporaneity. Through bibliographic research, there is reflection about contemporary society, connected and bombarded with information. Society is increasingly using technology for its personal relations as well as for the professional relations. Thus, reflecting how society behaves faced with the technologies and with internet is imperative to understanding individuals and the new forms of personal and professional interaction and relations. The permanent reflection about the theme shows itself to be fundamental since, being as technological changes occur in an accelerated speed, threats to the integrity of the human being also arise in this new relational space, cyberspace. The observation of ethical precepts in the use of the technological tools and of internet is as necessary as it is for daily social relations.
