Abstract:
This paper is about the computer use by teenagers, often estimated abusive by their family circle. In most cases, it is a "simple abundant use" more than a true addiction or a passion. The author describes the psychosocial mechanisms of such behaviours and the characteristics of each one. Finally, he describes how the adults, teachers and nursing staff can face up their responsibilities to contribute towards a safe use of multimedia in young people.
