Las Redes Sociales. Tipología, uso y consumo de las redes 2.0 en la sociedad digital actual

Abstract

The ‘social network phenomenon’ has revolutionized not only the ‘classic/ancient concept’ of relationship, but also how we manage our free time nowadays. We either look for old colleagues or we keep friendship, we get up to date with other’s lives or we meet new people, or even more, we apply for a job. However Social Networks have raged the debate about privacy, risks at the Internet, addictions, reduction of productivity at the office, etc. The aim of this report is to analyze social networks through their definition, typology and consume, in order to conclude if they either a threat or an opportunity for our society.
