The analysis presents some reflections on the changes produced by the use of digital technologies in contemporary Western societies. The scope is to understand the occurrences of the recent past, from the second half of the 1900s, and what is happening in social and individual experiences today. To devise a future, to decide how, when and what to offer in order to transmit to young people the fields of knowledge and skills that will be of use for managing their future successfully in a Europe that is no longer unknown. The prevailing theoretical approach is from an anthropological cultural point of view with interdisciplinary encounters. The chapter is divided into three levels: the first two are general reflections on the role of digital technologies in the past and present. And focus on questions, expectations, characteristics that have interested scholars over time. The third level looks at the problematic features of the “digital natives”. The aim is to make them aware of the limits and the wonders of life online and their effects on the individual. Starting from the awareness that everyone is the expression of a local culture, that acceleration of technology favours non-knowledge, that intercultural and interdisciplinary encounters are already a part of the future.
L’analisi presenta alcune riflessioni sui cambiamenti prodotti dall’uso delle tecnologie digitali nelle società contemporanee. La finalità è capire che cosa è accaduto nel recente passato, dalla seconda metà del ‘900, e che cosa sta accadendo oggi nelle esperienze sociali e individuali. Per pensare un futuro, per decidere come, quando, dove e che cosa offrire ai giovani, quali campi del sapere e quali abilità coltivare affinché essi possano affrontare con successo il futuro in un’Europa che cambia. L’approccio teorico privilegiato è quello dell’antropologia culturale con incontri interdisciplinari. Il capitolo è diviso in tre parti: le prime due sono riflessioni generali sul ruolo delle tecnologie digitali nel passato e nel presente e si focalizzano su domande, aspettative, caratteristiche che hanno interessato gli studiosi nel corso del tempo. La terza parte affronta le problematiche caratteristiche di coloro che sono nati dopo il 1980, i cosiddetti “nativi digitali”.

Abstract
The analysis presents some reflections on the changes produced by the use of digital technologies in contemporary Western societies. The scope is to understand the occurrences of the recent past, from the second half of the 1900s, and what is happening in social and individual experiences today. To devise a future, to decide how, when and what to offer in order to transmit to young people the fields of knowledge and skills that will be of use for managing their future successfully in a Europe that is no longer unknown. The prevailing theoretical approach is from an anthropological cultural point of view with interdisciplinary encounters. The chapter is divided into three levels: the first two are general reflections on the role of digital technologies in the past and present. And focus on questions, expectations, characteristics that have interested scholars over time. The third level looks at the problematic features of the “digital natives”. The aim is to make them aware of the limits and the wonders of life online and their effects on the individual. Starting from the awareness that everyone is the expression of a local culture, that acceleration of technology favours non-knowledge, that intercultural and interdisciplinary encounters are already a part of the future.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
