Abstract
The article discusses and criticizes a diffused narrative about ‘digital global generation’, represented as characterized by the use of Internet and mobile devices and described as being very similar to that of the protagonists of social movements of the 1960s. On one hand, a more complex definition of the generation and its connections with mediascapes is proposed; on the other hand, the emphasis on the gap between old and new generations is discussed on the background of intergenerational relations.
