Abstract

The interaction between media and society is uneven: different groups demonstrate different degrees of involvement in the media context This course will focus on the relationship between youth and digital technologies. During the course, we will learn about theories that describe the modern Digital Age, as well as the concepts of Traditional and New Media, Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants and Digital Nomads. The impact of digital technologies on the everyday life of young people and the active role of young people in the creation, use and redefinition of new digital technologies will be examined.
