Abstract

The coming of New Technologies (ICTs) is leading us to a discussion about their consequences in children´s life in the context of the information society. The aim of this paper is to analyze from a critical approach the main diagnosis about this topic. The starting idea is that they are characterized by an image of non-capable or immature children as technology user. It is argued in this article that some empirical evidences exist pointing out the fact that e-generations can play a more active and central role in the new technologies use.
