Youth in the Digital Age

Digital and social media are ubiquitous in the lives of young people, to the point where they are an accepted part of the social and cultural landscape. But how do youth make meaning of their technologically mediated lives? This book proposes answers from an interdisciplinary view of youth and the digital age.
