Are videogames the worst form of entertainment for our children? No, provided we choose the right ones. Should children be forbidden from the Internet? That would be a senseless battle. Better to educate young people to make use of its potential, avoiding its risks. Does technology hinder learning? On the contrary: when used correctly it can become a great resource. The digital world today is surrounded by preconceptions and fears: from believing that «videogames make you stupid» to stating that kids no longer have real interactions due to the web, it is essential to understand what it means to be born and grow up in a world that is permeated by technology – from videogames to the Internet, from social networks to smarthphones. The objective is to provide a guide allowing parents and teachers to find solutions to the most common digital dilemmas, offering tips and practical suggestions to navigate the risk factors and potential of the digital universe, free from worries and anxiety.
