Abstract
The rise of the Internet, mobile telephony and digital technology has modified the ways in which children learn. From their first years of life, boys and girls begin their relationship with technology and the media in a natural way. The media and new technologies are part of family entertainment, and therefore, have a significant influence on ways of learning. This research seeks to analyze the use of cell phones, the Internet, video games and television by girls and boys. From the data collection, we seek to establish how the New Information and Communication Technologies can generate distraction and affect the teaching and learning processes in educational centers. As a result of the interaction with an environment plagued by technology, students think and process information differently from their predecessors. According to Marc Prensky (2001), children and students have changed radically, not only in dress and style, as was the case with past generations, but in their thinking patterns and the way they learn.
