Description

New information technologies provide tools and ways of thinking that shape every aspect of our lives. The Internet, taken as a tool, assists one in specific tasks associated with study, communication, or leisure. But taken as a whole technology, a unified world of systematic processes, they come to dictate one’s perception of reality and to dominate every sphere of life. The aim of this research is to understand the behavioural divergence between kid’s and adults as Internet users in Portugal, through out a field questionnaire, in order to address the theoretical gap regarding literature.
