Jóvenes y pantallas (televisión, Internet, videoconsolas, dispositivos móviles) man­tienen una intensa y estrecha convivencia. Mientras los padres, profesores y muchos estudiosos piensan que las relaciones que los jóvenes experimentan alre­dedor de las pantallas son básicamente negativas, los propios jóvenes opinan lo contrario.
