Published by: Scientia Kiadó
Keywords: new media; information society; Hungarian environment
Summary/Abstract: What are the specific challenges and opportunities of the information society? The increasing use of information technology influences various aspects of our lives: the problem of accessing information is replaced gradually by challenges regarding how to select and organize relevant information; alternative opportunities of self-affirmation or nurturing the social relationships are offered by ICT; the “normal” educational routines of parents and teachers are challenged, and there are controversial questions around copyright issues as well.Theoretical considerations and experimental data resulting from research of the Hungarian cultural environment (in Hungary and in the Hungarian-inhabited regions of Romania) are explored in the present book, in accordance with papers presented at ”New Media – Mobile Age” conference (organized in march 2016 in Tîrgu Mureș, Romania). The published studies and research data are of interest for comparisons with international research results, and for outlining further development strategies and policies.

- Summary/Abstract:Analysing the smartphone usage of Hungarian adolescents from Romania, Orsolya Gergely points out that, while the use of smartphones is gaining ground spectacularly in the lives of young people, attitudes are divided on the matter. Approaches to telephone use have become an important issue in school education, and a particular typology can be outlined regarding teachers’ attitudes on the issue. Like other researchers, Gergely also shows that the generation gap currently hinders the strategic application of ICT tools in schools.
