The book describes a dystopian future in which a computer virus causes a strange collective delusion in young people that ends in the slaughter of the elderly. Set on a prairie in an unknown province, in a remote future, it portrays a society in which science and technology guarantee the elixir of long life to the generations that had been teenagers during the 1968 cultural revolution, but who do not want to cede space to a new generation of young people controlled by an increasingly invasive technology. In the book, an extreme generational conflict erupts whose battle front is within the new digital technologies.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36257\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36257\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36257 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1-Carles-Congost.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"570\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1-Carles-Congost.png 800w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1-Carles-Congost-561x400.png 561w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1-Carles-Congost-768x547.png 768w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/1-Carles-Congost-700x500.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-36257\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>\u00bfPara qu\u00e9 sirven las canciones?<\/em>\u00a0it is a short film of cinematographic fiction by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carles_congost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@carles_congost<\/a> (Carles Congost)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The novel\u2019s themes provide a stimulating framework in which to reflect on the way new communication technologies intervene in the identity process of teens and increase the generation gap. The generations born after 2007 learn more words from machines than from their own parents (Franco Berardi \u201cBifo\u201d) and adolescents are the most extreme and compulsive users of the network. Today, in the 21st century, the existential condition of teenagers is even more problematic. With the passing of time, digital technology has become an infrastructure of daily life, the difference between public and private is blurred, and the separation (alienation) of daily life from the public sphere, and the intimate from the alien (<em>extimacy<\/em>), has been reduced. This fact directly affects the new generations without any mediation from the previous generations, thus increasing generational divergence. Therefore, new technologies accelerate growth processes outside of traditional education (family and school) based on real and physical communication. In these circumstances, and taking into account the intensification of current technological development, several studies have shown that the problematic use of the Internet by those under 19 years of age and depression during this difficult age seem to feed off each other, thereby increasing the problem. According to these studies, there is an urgent need for education and culture to intervene, given a risk that this situation will continue on into adulthood, as adolescence is the stage in which the generational gap appears and generates progress and social change.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_36260\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36260\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36260 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2-Hesoytuansiendad.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2-Hesoytuansiendad.png 800w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2-Hesoytuansiendad-552x400.png 552w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/2-Hesoytuansiendad-768x557.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-36260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ehsoytuansiedad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Hesoytuansiedad<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_36263\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36263\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36263 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-Hesoytuansiedad.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-Hesoytuansiedad.png 800w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-Hesoytuansiedad-541x400.png 541w, https:\/\/a-desk.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-Hesoytuansiedad-768x567.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-36263\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ehsoytuansiedad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Hesoytuansiedad<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>This editorial text intends to address this subject with visual and digital studies. The contributors have delved into four crucial aspects of the relationship between the youngest group of the contemporary population and digital technology. In his text entitled <em><a href=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/magazine\/no-metaverse-for-teenagers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">No Metaverse for Teenagers (*)<\/a><\/em>, Toni Navarro, a philosopher specialized in gender and technology, offers an analysis of the relationship between VR and the Metaverse with those under twenty years of age, highlighting above all the possible effects of these on identity, gender and psychology.<\/p>\n<p>The cultural analyst and network activist Estela Ortiz, in her article<a href=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/en\/magazine\/no-sere-como-calamardo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> I Will Not be Like Squidward<\/em><\/a>, is more optimistic and intersperses phrases taken from Tik Tok (the Chinese app created for adolescents) with open-minded, personal reflections about this incredibly popular platform for one-minute videos. What do teenagers really do on Tik Tok? Inverting the paradigm and inviting adults to learn from childhood, Estela\u2019s conclusions about the use of this app are, in the end, quite positive. In <a href=\"https:\/\/a-desk.org\/en\/magazine\/emo-es-chat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Dogpiss_<\/em><\/a>, the photographer Tanit Plana introduces us to a completely new and unique world of a 16-year-old non-binary person through an Instagram message interview.
