Abstract

With the advent of the Internet and the enhancement of personal use technologies (eg computer, television, mobile devices) the way we interact with each other and the way how we consume information and content (whether educational or entertainment) has changed. This article intends to address three aspects underlying digital devices, presenting different interaction mechanisms used, the way in which digital content is consumed today and the impact that these behaviours have on product and content development itself, addressing also and with more focus on the cognitive effects (positive and negative) of the use of technologies such as television, the Internet and, in a general way, day-to-day technological devices

Keywords

Digital devices; cognitive effects; interaction; Internet; neuroplasticity.
