Preface
The domestic television screen is being transformed into the site of a multimedia culture integrating telecommunications, broadcasting, computing, and video. Already, satellite and cable television, interactive video and electronic games, the personal computer and the Internet are central to the daily lives of children and young people. Yet little is known about the meanings, uses, and impacts of these new technologies. This volume brings together researchers from 12 countriesBelgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Israel, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. We present new findings about the diffusion and significance of new media and information technologies among children and young people.
