BARRIOS RUBIO, ANDRÉS. Youth and the Net: Use and Consumption of New Media in the ic society. Signo pensam. [online]. 2009, vol.28, n.54, pp.265-275. ISSN 0120-4823.

The Information and Communication Society introduced the use of it in the midst of everyday life and modified conventional wisdom concerning media and its processes of communication. Thus, new mobility conditions were created based on the imaginary assumption (or prejudice) that the young are more competent than adults vis-à-vis the use of it. Nevertheless, it has been established that the young aren't aware of the it's reach and range, because they use them as entertainment rather than as a tool to communicate, research, and analyze our society.

Keywords : it; virtual transmitter; digital gap; generation gap; information society; Internet.
