Abstract: The aim of this work is to analyze the influence of social networks on the development of adolescents. For the study, a sample of 159 adolescents from the Francisco Pacheco parish, in the city of Portoviejo, Manabí province, Ecuador, was used. Different methods were applied such as historical-logical, deductive-inductive, bibliographic, field and statistical. The results obtained showed that technology is a vital part of the environment of adolescents, which is why they spend more time on social networks than on the formative development of values, family coexistence and academic interest. It is concluded that it is necessary to make parents aware of the consequences of using social networks so that they can control and limit the time their children spend on these media and at the same time know their cybernetic-social environment, in order to improve their level of education
