Stay-at-home orders have been measures taken by many countries to protect people from Sars-CoV-2; therefore, the use of devices connected to the internet has increased. In Spain, children have also been locked down, making the internet a necessary channel for learning and sociability. This paper intends to study how the online communicative activity of children aged 6 to 12 took place during and after lockdown. The various statistical tests performed reveal that the increased use of devices during lockdown is related mostly to sociability, entertainment, and gaming. The findings show numerous intergenerational tensions between the adult population and children regarding the internet.
