- Abstract
Modern technology developments in the mid-nineties of the last century brought a qualitative and real revolution in the world of communications. The Internet spread throughout the globe, linked the growing parts of the world with its wide space, and paved the way for societies to converge, get acquainted and exchange views and ideas. Further, each browser benefited from this network, one of the many media available in it, and the scientific writings and research on its technology implications confirmed the opening of fertile fields of intellectual and informational communications, and the emergence of the concept of a small global village in which the elements of time, space, distances and borders disappear, and social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, You- Tube, Instagram, Snapchat and other means have emerged (e.g. file sharing, instant chatting, and direct communication and interaction between the audience of recipients. This ease of use and access to services is one of the most important factors that made the social network attract a significant percentage of users in all groups, and the highest percentage is the youth category at all levels, especially university students, which led to the existence of social, psychological, moral, cultural and intellectual repercussions (Aziz, 2010-27 ). It is noticed through the daily views in the Saudi society that the majority of young people, especially at the university, are not tired of using a mobile phone or a computer and sitting and using it for social networks in all its movements, assuming that the use of these networks is positive. But some people change their opinions when using these networks without directing them, which impedes access to various aspects and ideas, some of which are marred by confusion and intellectual instability, which requires direction and rapid movement of all specialized and related professions dealing with this category that needs seminars, conferences and intellectual opinions to explain the negative effects in dealing with all that contradicts the values of society, its unity and harmony, which may lead to the loss of this group and thus become a danger to society. This demands us to attend to the need to develop intellectual security and fortify it among young people in a scientific and practical manner that is clear and stable in the minds of youth. The researcher has noted that the language, intellectual mobility, and speaking with this group need a scientific research pause to illuminate the path to attaining information, data and correct ideas for them through specialists in social studies and work to enlighten this category with guidance and continuous follow-up as a national duty. Hence, the importance of studying this topic has emerged owing to its positive and negative impact on the society of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, based on the mechanisms of dealing with these ideas and transforming them from a negative thought to a positive thought, and formulating the study problem and benefiting from its findings and recommendations.
