Relation of young people with technology and digital devices are daily and integral. I mean, it's hard to imagine a young man who along a da do not have a relationship or do not act or do not interact with a device digital. And the use that young people give to devices is varied, while initially the greatest use was communication, Today it has expanded to entertainment, to education, even the personal expression, the expression of the identity.
Some studies have found that young people use between 7 and 8 daily digital devices, only for entertainment, i.e. excluding for example, use for school tasks. And the particular thing is that this use is given through different devices, that is, one of these hours are through smartphones, others by tablet and others through computer. And the use within entertainment can be for use social networks, online video games or maybe only visualize videos.
Two particular areas that can graph the level of relationship between young people and devices are social networks and education. In the case of social networks, they are a crucial place in the lives of adolescents, either to participate in online communities, to share with friends and family, or even to find places to express and explore your identity.
Today in gives the most popular social networks among young people are TikTok or Snapchat and Instagram, and young people use them mainly to follow to share moments in your daily life or even to participate in global trends, like what is known as the challenges. However, it is interesting to know that a common trend in social networks is that young people migrate from networks Social.
Maybe today in da, as I mentioned, Instagram or Snapchat are the most popular, but young people often migrate to new social networks when adults reach those currently in using, then they go to others where adults are not so present. It's a common behavior in young people. With regard to education, the COVID 19 aument pandemic dependence, the relevance of the use of technology in education to provide remote education.
But this does not necessarily pertain to the pandemic, that is, the place of technology, the role of technology in education remains today's day, which at the same time generates new challenges. For example, develop literacy programmes so that young people learn how to handle themselves in this type of environment. But also questions about what kind of use they do the young people of technology when they are in school.
A study of a few years ago that 97% of Teenagers use the cell phone, the phone, while you're at school. And that use of about 45 to 60 minutes, which also gives an indication that the majority that use does not is necessarily only for education, but also to be distracted. This has also subsequently involved the start of policies to address such problems.
In some cases, the use of cell phones in schools. In short, and as a snthesis to the answer to the question, technology, cell phones are present in all the aspects of children's life. Which has also led to the beginning of thinking not only about analyze how he spoke at first the screen time, I mean, how long the kids use their cell phone in their daily life, but to think of a more functional approach.
Why do they use it? When do they use it? How do they use it? What do they do when they use digital devices? To be able to understand with more precision the impact, the relationship of children with technology and to be able to support them to develop healthy in these environments digital. [MSICA]
