This course unit reflects on the influence of the daily use of digital media in the socialization processes of younger generations. Children and adolescents constitute a group particularly prone to adopting these technologies which increasingly take on a crucial place in their daily lives. How do they use these technologies? What are they looking for? How does this reflect upon the formation of their identity? What type of relationships do they establish amongst themselves? How do they communicate? What do they learn? In fact, the use of mobile phones, game consoles, audio and video players, or the multiple functionalities of the internet, gave rise to new forms of social interaction which, in turn, created new ‘languages’ and new methods of establishing relationships and socializing. This course aims to analyze the way in which the younger generations appropriate these media and what role these play both on the level of personal development and on the level of social relations, namely in development phases where these two levels are of particular importance.
