Descriptive surveys have been developed recently in Europe to know the level of new technologies use by adolescents and youngsters in our countries. However, if we analyze the tendencies, in all European countries the use of all new technologies is fast increasing among youngsters. In general, all households with children of that ages have much better media equipment than those with no children. But we must go more far away. It is very important to know, not only how many new technological equipment there are, and how they are used.
Culture is much more, and includes human interaction also to produce non-material products.
We need more relevant information about which roles are playing new technologies to improve human relationships, human interactions, and children's socialization process . Of course, such research is not completely new. I am only stating that we need much more. For example, in the European coordinated research by Suess, Suoninen, Garitaonandia et al. While there are friends around, younger children usually prefer play to media use, and they certainly prefer the company of friends to the company of media.
