Abstract:
We live in the age of technology, where we have a variety of devices that help us to accomplish our tasks and meet many of our desires. The cell phone is no longer an easy electronic device and become part of our culture, as it is an identification and personal element as well as sign of social status. This paper starts from the beginning of the new communities of discussion and social relations, to become what we know, the Digital Culture. We propose a path on which active educational methodologies just corresponds with the new means of social relationships.

with the 2.0 web, the protagonist is the user and allows faster and access to content, and social networks today established new fields of action and learning. Through portable devices, such as mobile phones or tablets, we can connect at any time and of the day to the network. We are inseparable from mobile devices, we spent long hours sharing content. All this is a result and reflection of the profound change that humans are enduring and the way they relate. We ourselves who produce, consume and spread the contents on the Internet, we interact with others to share any content or simply to explore new contexts. We will address the new multidisciplinary spaces enrolled in a virtual environment within which knowledge and transforming qualities rising out of the self and the way we act in society. Before, the time devoted to connect to the network was small, our life, friends, work, family life... was in the physical world (the real world we know). Instead, today, internet has penetrated in all these areas. We spent a significant amount of our time networked: online work, share fragments of our privacy, etc.. It has created a virtual society, a digital world where, according to the new rules, we live and interact through our "online I ". This act of generating, transmitting and sharing, determines the way we perceive reality and gives way to a new system of social communication. Where individuals themselves are built using digital images, comments or interests which fall within these interfaces and displayed to other users. Through internet you share all kinds of information, and social networks where you create a new way of life. Today, we live constantly connected and everything is done online, work, friends, family ... Featuring a new space for discussion and the social and intellectual development of art, which acquire a great relevance and influence.
