• Do children in the network make much Internet use
  or less than we think?
• Children make a lot of use of the internet in
  several ways and adults are not able to find out
  what they are using it for.
• Jose Pineiro Castro took samples of the uses
  children make from public schools.
• After these samples, she realized that children
  use internet not for educational content, but to
  discover something that satisfy their other
  useless informational needs.

• Jose Pineiro Castro understands the need of using
  the network to study or read or play.
• Children having first contact with the digital
  environment are always of a playful nature.
• They use it both for educational purposes and,
  particularly for recreation and communication
  with their peer group.

• How new technologies influence the children?
• New technologies influence the children and they
  efficiently develop certain capacities and skills
  by practicing habits in digital environments.
• Jose Pineiro Castro found in her study that
  children carry out many other searches that are
  oriented to other areas far from education.
