The digital revolution of the last thirty years has changed everything at an accelerated pace. Today more than half of the world's population communicates, learns, works, shops, organises, reads or is entertained with the Internet. Just like in other areas, families can no longer ignore their children's digital education. But there is no need for alarm – it will require developing criteria for good digital behaviour that can be passed on to children. As the author points out, "this book is an invitation to worry a little less and to work a little more on everything that has to do with us, our children, technology and connectivity. It is not a manual on how to educate in the digital era, but rather on what is important to bear in mind if you happen to be a parent nowadays".
