Screens have entered our homes
Prof. Charo Sádaba
The use of devices has increased due to the pandemic. Schools have managed to maintain teaching programs during the confinement thanks to the efforts of teachers and the incorporation of new technologies. Children and adolescents have been able to adapt quickly to the new learning tools. Parents, however, have sometimes been overtaken by the sudden digitalization of homes. Knowing how to adapt to the new status and knowing the risks of technologies will allow them to better guide their children towards the good use of screens. Turning threats into opportunities and establishing synergies between the real world and the virtual world are attitudes to achieve this. The end of the pandemic will mean a reduction of digital consumption in households, but not its disappearance, so mastering technological advances and adapting them to each family status and staff will be an important issue also in the future.
