The digital attached in the indigenous youths: between inequalities and local representations

ABSTRACT

Internet connectivity infrastructures have extended even in indigenous villages; however, young people are basically those who use digital technologies. The main services they use are social media to communicate, interact and upload their own content. From an ethnographic approach to three villages in Mexico, I expose some characteristics of the conditions of connectivity and the contents that young people produce and share. These contents reflect the interactions they experience between their local worlds and the possibilities outside of their places of origin.
