Some characteristics of adolescents who live hyperconnected through mobile phones have been described and that differentiate them from young people of other times.
Well, we have seen that there are some traits that are described for hyperconnected adolescents through mobile phones and of course they're different from young people of other times
first, they are less decisive
Having more means, more possibilities, they are continuously communicating, they make worse decisions and sometimes they don't even make them
In fact, they can spend a lot of time planning a meeting on WhatsApp and in the end they aren't able to see each other, because they don't agree
Another important part, is the distortion of communication, communication is reduced to a written language, really immediate and this makes it easy for them to be misinterpreted, and they are not complete messages
As they have all that amount of messages, they are not able to respond well
Their sustained attention is also less, even though they come to meet friends, instead of relating face-to-face and strengthen their relationships, they are chatting with third parties, looking at the profiles of others things in the network
In short, they do not strengthen the bonds in front of them and their communication is clearly less efficient
They are also much more impatient, they do not understand waiting, everything that creates frustration and waiting or that someone does not answer in a short period of time, make them nervous
They put privacy very much into perspective and this can even be serious because they do not measure the damage or anticipate the damage that may be caused
They do not give much importance to managing their image and its exposure to the networks, they are not aware of this
While parents can be shocked because they upload photos with very light clothes, or underwear, because they think they are wearing an outfit suitable for the beach or the pool
And they are also more fickle and being continuously connected with someone, well when they meet, if they get bored, they leave and change plans without any of care
They are less tolerant of frustration
If they don't like something, they don't do it
Because they have more choices among other things and they change their plan
They are also more individualistic and tend to relate more superficially, in fact it is serious that they don't listen to each other because they are gathered and each one goes his own and everything has to do with something that makes them interested, in a very individual way
