an increased understanding of individual´s and

devolopment of ICT and digital media.

Overarching questions investigated

to new technologies and digital media?

social practices become media- and technology
dependant, in institutional as well as informal
environments?
•  What conclusions can be made about the conditions
for learning and development in the contemporary
technologyintensive society?
•  …And further questions are welcome to be
explored.
