Title: Learning with new technologies and inter-generational debate: shall the divide be enhanced or overcome?

Abstract: Inequality in the field of Information Technologies opposes the "Net Generation" to the previous ones. In order to solve this problem, our society of knowledge would make a first step by understanding them in their global perspective, and subsequently by implementing specific interventions. Empirical data show a reality that is complex both in what concerns the theoretical gap and in what concern practical approaches.

Title: L'apprendimento con le nuove tecnologie e il dibattito generazionale: concentrarsi sul divario o superarlo?

Abstract: Nella società della conoscenza, il primo passo per colmare i problemi di disuguaglianza digitale tra la "Net Generation" e le generazioni precedenti è quello di comprenderli nella loro prospettiva globale, per procedere poi a specifici interventi. Dai dati empirici presentati, la realtà si presenta complessa, tanto sul piano del gap teorico, quanto sul piano degli approcci.
