This editorial addresses the common misconception perpetuated by media that technology, particularly internet and computer games, has solely negative impacts on society, such as antisocial behavior and cognitive decline. The editor, a psychologist interested in the interplay between technology and human behavior, often finds that journalists seek confirmation for their technology-related 'doom and gloom' narratives. However, the existence and growth of online communities offer a counter-narrative, showcasing how digital platforms can foster connections and contradict the notion that technology isolates individuals from society.
