This question is incomplete since you did not provide the text, but I will help you with this answer.

Explanation:

 We all agree that digital technology and communication have leaked almost ubiquitously into everyday life today, at least in Western societies. Many of the things we do on a daily basis go through the use of a computer or even more, a Smartphone that goes with us everywhere. See the weather forecast, organize our personal agenda, have a directory, interact with friends and family, make a purchase or choose the provider of a specific service ... Much has been addressed as to how this invasive presence of technology can greatly influence in the way we relate to each other and on the social effects of technology.

Psychology seeks to explain how people can become dependent on the relationships created thanks to technology and neglect what is authentically happening around them. Sociology investigates how this new way of approaching social reality can modify the fabric of the community. And Ethics and Philosophy try to answer, among many others, the question of whether these new ways of relating and understanding the world have affected the construction of motivations and values ​​that move us as human beings.

The way we react to the suffering of the other, the empathy that we can show towards others, does not depend on or is limited by the use of the internet. But they can be exponentially increased, as can discrimination and insult. It is a great machine for exponentially multiplying the feelings, ideas and words of people and groups.

This should not be taken as a catastrophe. Because yes, there are internet “trolls”. There are people who will pour hate and obnoxious comments everywhere on the web. But we cannot blame technology, as it is not technology that made these people selfish in the first place. And also, the outlook is not one hundred percent negative.
