Jovem e cognição multiplataforma: relatos dos pioneiros de uma vida quase digital

Abstract

The research seeks to know the young adoptions of multiplatforms connected to the Internet and how these practices dialogue with the concepts of inventive cognition. The first stage contemplates bibliographic research, characterizing the studies of cognition; the concepts of cyberculture and sociotechnical networks; the man-machine relationship in connected environments; studies on youth in their relations with information and communication technologies. The second stage consists of detailed analyzes of the young practices with the communication devices and networks, starting from secondary sources such as the survey 2016 ICT Households, organized by Comitê Gestor de Internet no Brasil and Youth and Media Consumption in Times of Convergence, organized by Rede Brasil Conectado. Both findings are intertwined with qualitative research conducted by the researcher, through a focus group technique, when 59 young university communication students, divided into eight sessions, were heard for more than 20 hours of conversations. They are "almost digital" people, highly affectionate to the uses of technologies, but carrying a kind of guilt for such adherence. Youth visions on youth and technologies are researched; practices of young people with traditional and digital media; the digital adoptions in definitive; the actions employing the connected digital logic; the skills and competences that young people recognize to have developed; the perspectives of these young people on connected apparatuses and bodies; the visions of freedom and intelligence in our times
