摘要：Youth, technological networks and interwoven meaning. Today young people comprise the segment of the population that makes the most intense use of technological networks. Our interest is centred on the socio-cultural and qualitative dimension of young people’s use of such technologies insofar as they can utilise those processes to build their identities and find a meaning for their lives. This article investigates communication among young people focusing on possibilities for the construction of networks and the articulation of interwoven meaning. To authors like Manuel Castells (1997) network logic is a term that goes far beyond the technological dimension and points to new logics of relationship and communication taking shape in the new social, political and cultural environment of globalisation. Today's technological devices create non-territorial spaces that facilitate interactivity and whose references are not necessarily geographic, but usually based on shared tastes, motivations or desires. However, the abundance of technological channels available and the intensity of their use by young people bring with them a corrosion of character (Sennet 2000) and the dissolution of some of the social ties necessary for personal and collective development.
