Resumen

We live in a time surrounded by innumerable technological innovations that have impacted
this generation significantly, since very early people already make use of some electronic
gadget, navigating a universe rich in entertainment features, allowing access to different
content whether close or even far. Such technological innovations promote relevant
transformations in all sectors of society, contributing to the formation of more active and
participative subjects in issues of interest around themselves and the world, favoring the
dissemination of popular culture and its enrichment. New technologies favor changes in
thinking, acting, teaching and learning, as they have significantly contributed to the
advancement of communication and access to information in real time. It is noticed that
