Abstract

The present study intent to demonstrate the cognitive point of view and the consequences of the frequent manipulation of the web universe by children and teenagers so called interactive generation . Since this is a topic of transversal nature, relation between communication and education were established acknowledging the impacts and the complexity socially instituted, considering a phenomenon originated by the unbelievable advances of new communication technologies to a great increase of followers in a short period of time. That s why the research turns round and presents reflections about some communication devices available in the cyberspace in detriment of consequences manifested in young people caused by this phenomenon by the cognitive point o view. The evidences accentuate the necessity to build relations between cyberspace, cognitive competence and the learning process originated by these analogies emanate the cyber culture. In addition there are some structural aspects and conceptual of the web process established in a synchronous and no synchronous way, these environment originated in the perspective of the web users allowing the machine a function of mediation in the interaction process that validates itself through experience. Therefore this is a qualitative research, of exploring nature, considering an approach that supports a constructive and rational process, pair up to concept and technical aspects that validate learning through experience. About the indicators of the actual generation profile, these were taken from the Iberian American research An interactive Iberian American generation about the internet use by children and teenagers, which served as a support to the chapters developed. Nevertheless, these phenomenons established for the present time a social, cultural and economical conjunction a review of established patterns in favor of a modern space considered semantic for determining behavior and for stimulating the development of different perceptions in detriment of interaction, agility and dynamics notions of time and space, as well as a more democratic access to information and knowledge. The cyber culture, as a phenomenon of these relations is in evidence in the current generation to acquiring autonomy competence to make the cyberspace a meeting place for interaction and identification as well as a place for reception, search, production and message dissemination, causing some consequences to the workplace and the education itself. These presuppositions concern to the communication area which should collaborate with some significant importance towards the actual learning process, validating communication and education. In the meantime we see a scenery that needs a review of established paradigm as a way to power up the communication tools to face the social and cultural problems manifested in the contemporaneous society in a peculiar way, the educational process for considering urgency for a greater project that threats the community in favor of human development
