Advances in ICT and an exponential increase in the number of ICT use and e-connections and interactions established between multiple human and non-human agents have made possible the emergence of new technology usage patterns. However, many individuals connected in the interpersonal dynamics of various social structures may find it challenging to adjust to the evolution in everyday ICT usage.
