This paper aims to discuss the influence of digital technology in the social development of young people (aged 13-15). It is assumed that use of digital technology by young people between age 13-15 years old may decrease their social inclusion, which is a process that where social interaction between individuals with different socially relevant attributes is encouraged. However, the emergence of social media which is the digital platform has opened one more avenue for socialisation. Hence it is critical that young people make use of various digital platforms to socialise effectively. Without this skill, some young people may be at risk of social exclusion.
