Users of digital media, particularly those relying on the internet, are no longer passive recorders of information, but alternate such activities with the role of content producers, injecting new information on the web, and thus raising the volume of circulating data. The paper argues such interactivity is what characterizes Gen-M appropriation of the media, an event that is completely new as related to traditional media, and defends that there is an intimate relation between these new media usages and the new ways of teen socialization, namely socialization through CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) in spaces conventionally designated as virtual communities.
