technology and connectivity, digital skills are constantly evolving. It’s a
stratified, immanent and historical knowledge, not limitated to technical

as well as the human identity. Using a interdisciplinary approach and a methodological
framework based on authors from psychology, philosophy and media education, the
article reflects on the complexity of our digital life. In this context, digital
literacy is seen as an essential human resource, a multidimensional literacy
that includes critical thinking to understand how technology is influencing identity,
social gaps, inequalities and power relations.
