The use of technology among children, adolescents, and adults has increased dramatically in the last 15 to 20 years. Along with the presence of technology has come increased exposure and access to social media, particularly for adolescents and teenagers. Social media may include any form of electronic communication where users share information and build communities; some examples of commonly used social media sites include YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. With the near-ubiquitous presence of smartphones and tablets, most adolescents and teens are using devices and associated social media sites. There are advantages and disadvantages to the use of social media, and pediatricians should be aware of potential risks as well as ways that social media use may be beneficial to teens. Communication with caregivers and patients about technology and social media use is an important piece of anticipatory guidance during health care visits, and there are multiple ways that pediatricians can facilitate healthy usage of social media with their patients. .
在过去15到20年里，儿童、青少年和成年人对技术的使用急剧增加。随着技术的出现，人们接触和使用社交媒体的机会也增加了，尤其是青少年。社交媒体可能包括用户分享信息和建立社区的任何形式的电子通信；常用社交媒体网站的一些例子包括YouTube、TikTok、Snapchat、Instagram和Facebook。由于智能手机和平板电脑几乎无处不在，大多数青少年都在使用这些设备及相关的社交媒体网站。使用社交媒体有优点也有缺点，儿科医生应该意识到潜在风险以及社交媒体使用可能对青少年有益的方面。在医疗就诊期间，与照顾者和患者就技术和社交媒体的使用进行沟通是预期指导的重要组成部分，儿科医生有多种方法可以帮助他们的患者健康使用社交媒体。
