Abstract

Together with the 2000s, technological developments, Internet usage and social media which have entered a little more every day in daily life have transformed many social and cultural structures, especially traditional forms of communication. In recent years, the society in which people live called to be network society. The network society that has developed rapidly in less than twenty years and whose impact is seen worldwide is accepted by people at the same rate. In human history, this situation is a surprising process because the fundamental social changes and acceptances has taken place in a painful and delayed manner. Societies are resistant to the change of the structures in which they exist, and this resistance obscures the social transition periods. However, the transition to the network society has been fast and incomparably faster than the other social transition periods in history and has been accepted enthusiastically by almost all social stratum. The aim of this study is to examine the rapidly accepted technological leaps and the problems of social media through the television film called Black Mirror.
