On digital technologies: Dynamic relationships and societal questions
- 2020.
70
At the turn of the century, Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICTs) emerged and subsequently came to occupy a growing, even exponential, place in our economic, social, and cultural world, profoundly transforming our relationships with others, environments, learning, and personal and collective identities. However, developmental psychologists in France have been slow to grasp these issues. This introduction proposes to identify some guidelines that reflect the gradual emergence of research questions. We have also attempted to situate these questions in relation to the societal context that gives rise to them and that they help to shape. The works presented in this special report are consistent with this approach.
