"What are the consequences of growing up in a datafied world in which social interaction is increasingly dependent on digital media and everyday life is shaped by algorithmic predictions? How is datafication being normalized in children's everyday life? What are the technologies, contexts and relations that enhance children's datafication? What are the meanings of data practices for parents, teachers, and children themselves? These are some of the questions that Mascheroni and Siibak address in Datafied childhoods: Data practices and imaginaries in children's lives. When the data-driven business model emerged twenty years ago, we could not have imagined how pervasive data extraction would have become in the context of everyday life, including the "institutional triangle" of children's lives (the home, the school and the playground). Today, the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the datafication of everyday life and our reliance on data-relations. Yet, we still know little about the nature, meanings and consequences of the data practices in which children, and the adults around them, engage. This book tries to fill in this gap in two ways. First, drawing on the authors' knowledge of children and media studies and their own research on children's, families' and teachers' interactions with multiple technologies (IoT and IoToys, artificial intelligence, algorithms, robots) in different contexts (home, school and play), it promotes a non-media-centric and child-centered approach. Second, in so doing it encourages further scholarly inquiry into the everyday as the analytical entry point to understand how datafication is transforming parenting, education, childhood and thereby the children"--

On 17th October the Net Children Go Mobile project launched its first report "Mobile internet access and use among European children" which includes initial findings on locations of internet use, devices used to go online, age of first internet use and age of first smartphone, online activities. The report shows that children are going mobile: among all the devices asked about, smartphones are the devices that children are more likely to own (53%) or use to go online at least once a day (48%) in all the contexts we examined. Privatisation of internet access is also a continuing trend: despite the fact that smartphones are the devices most likely to be used on the move, smartphone use is in practice mainly domestic. More specifically, smartphones are more often used in the privacy of children’s own bedrooms. Moreover, children are ‘going social’: if we look at activities - and if we compare activities across time - we can observe that social networking, entertainment on media sharing platforms, and sharing content with others are on the rise. Given that these activities are far more popular among children who are also smartphones or tablets users, then we can assume a correlation - though not a causal relationship - between mobile convergent media and online participatory activities.

The Internet of Toys (IoToys) is a developing market within our Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem. This book examines the rise of internet-connected toys and aims to anticipate the opportunities and risks of IoToys before their widespread diffusion. Contributors to this volume each provide a critical analysis of the design, production, regulation, representation and consumption of internet-connected toys. In order to address the theoretical, methodological and policy questions that arise from the study of these new playthings, and contextualise the diverse opportunities and challenges that IoToys pose to educators, families and children themselves, the chapters engage with notions of mediatization, datafication, robotification, connected and post-digital play. This timely engagement with a key transformation in children’s play will appeal to all readers interested in understanding the social uses and consequences of IoToys, and primarily to researchers and students in children and media, early childhood studies, media and communications, sociology, education, social psychology, law and design. .

À l'ère d'Internet, l'expression de nos identités numériques est prise en porte-à-faux. D'un côté, l'invention par les citoyens-internautes de nouvelles modalités d'expression et de revendications identitaires, individuelles et collectives sont susceptibles de renforcer le lien social et l'existence démocratique. D'un autre côté, la propension de contrôle de ces identités à des fins économiques et politiques s'accroît via la captation, la fidélisation et la traçabilité des profils. Répression et surveillance de nos comportements numériques semblent plus que jamais d'actualité. Comment maîtriser ses identités numériques ? Peut-on être personne sur le réseau ? Peut-on effacer ses traces ? Que faire de tous nos mots de passe et identifiants ? Ce volume des Essentiels d'Hermès propose de mettre en lumière les ressorts et dilemmes de la présence en ligne et de l'« être ensemble », ou autrement dit de la communication à l'ère numérique.
