The influence of technology on the intimacy of young people: findings in the autonomous community of La Rioja

Abstract

The traditional privacy settings on silent and isolated private enclosures is giving way to new configurations that are occupying an increasingly larger life of young people and teenagers space. Thus, they change their distance from the others, the rhythms of his life intermediate between their daily activities, isolation and loneliness, transforming parallel subjective attitude of introspection and meditation. However, if this fact is found in everyday moments, the socalled transparent generation speaking journalists and communicators is not observed in empirical data and a transfer network privacy does not occur in their communication and their social relationships. These results support that the changes introduced by ICTs require more detailed different aspects of the concept of "privacy" analysis. From the results obtained from a representative survey of 400 surveys of 14 to 20 years conducted in the Autonomous Community of La Rioja, the extension and expansion of the intimate spaces, in content and interactions (technological and personal). Technology has infiltrated all areas of everyday life and for all human plots, reaching the most hidden, innermost of the human being. So while only a third keeps the traditional model of privacy; the other young people, especially younger generations and women open their intimacy to social and technological interactions in their personal spaces. However, the narrative of intimate aspects and relationships in the network take into account the potential risks and yet, many young people and adolescents is prevented by including information on the public level on walls of social networks.
