Abstract
For a decade, we have been talking about how digital convergence
has permitted the entrance of computers in the media
and their interconnection in the net. At the moment, old and
new devices exist together and they are becoming more and
more flexible. The consequence for the users is that today they
have access to a wide variety of permanently connected content
at any time and in any place, through several platforms
that work together in a rich and complex way. In this context,
the present investigation shows a field study based on children,
young people, adults and senior citizens in Catalonia about the
use and the preferences of devices and contents of digital communication.
