Abstract
In the 21st century, digital mediation has become a defining feature of everyday life, influencing how individuals perceive themselves, others, and the world. This article explores how digital platforms and mediated communication reshape human selfhood, sensory perception, and interpersonal dynamics. Drawing from interdisciplinary literature (sociology, psychology, media studies) and recent scholarship (2020–2025), this paper situates the discussion within established research traditions, with a particular focus on Algerian youths. It reveals three major transformations. First, digital spaces allow for curated self-presentations that affect identity construction and self-awareness. Second, continuous digital engagement modifies sensory perception and attention, creating fragmented modes of awareness. Third, interpersonal relationships are increasingly shaped by algorithmic mediation, confusing the lines between intimacy and performance. Through a theoretical and context-based lens, this study argues that digital mediation does not merely reflect human behaviour but actively co-produces new forms of subjectivity and sociality. The work concludes by advocating for culturally sensitive digital literacy initiatives and further cross-cultural research in underrepresented contexts.
