Two decades ago it was unthinkable to be able to meet people from other countries without having to buy an air ticket and move to a specific destination. Today it is not only possible to interact with similar ones even when they are thousands of kilometers away, but relationships are strengthened and it is even possible to study and even work from a distance.
.
Technology has been transforming our lives, but even more has been shaping the new generations that only breathe and live through it. Our adolescents are protagonists of a phenomenon that becomes more relevant every day. Today recognized as the Generation Y, our young people see their world in a parallel way to which the parents live.

According to a recent study by the American telecommunications company Cisco System, 90% of young people do not leave their bed when they wake up without first checking their smartphones to check email updates and social networks.

The smartphone is the protagonist
Social meetings: There is not a single meeting of the members of Generation Y in which at least 60% of the attendees share their attention between their smartphone and the guest in front of them.
.
Family dinners: Next to the set of covers and the napkin can not miss the space for the cell phone. Eating without being able to review it at least every 15 minutes, is for the new digital generation like not being able to breathe.

In the bed: Many before going to sleep check their phone at least three times. The need to be connected is imperative and you can not say goodbye to the day without first knowing what is the last thing that has happened between your contacts.
.
In the car: This is the most dangerous of all, because those teenagers who already have a license to drive often maneuver between the gear lever, the steering wheel and your smartphone.

Change of habits
The adolescent of today lives exposed to a constant bombardment of the technological innovations that every day has at his disposal. Nobody wants to stay out of the latest fashions, much less feel isolated from their social group, which is now determined by social applications.
.
.
Facebook: " If you do not have Facebook you are not at all ", is the phrase of preference, because through this social network it is possible to be aware of what others are doing and share what you do. You fall in love, you make new friends, you compete through online games and you are part of a specific community.
.
Twitter: Only through this tool is it possible to be informed about what happens around you, but it is also another way to keep track of other contacts that you want to have in your sights without having to give too many details of your day to day, beyond what you let see in the 140 characters that the network offers you.
.
These, if you want the social networks that charge more power among young people, but to them are added the applications that are integrated into smartphones that, according to the Cisco study, represent an important part of the life of the new generation.
.
Technology has been transforming habits and behavior patterns that parents still find difficult to understand, since face-to-face interaction continues to have an intangible relevance.
