Interested in investigating the role of technologies and the effect they have played and continue to play on individual and group behavior, a research strategy was designed in two phases: documentary and quantitative research. The first focused on what communication represents in human beings, how it influences our world of representations and continuous learning. A chronology of the communicational stimuli that, through time, have been shaping our social learning, perceptions, motivations, attitudes and behaviors was raised. How the impacts will be determined by the conditions and circumstances of the protagonists in each environment. In turn, the quantitative research was carried out with a sample of undergraduate students from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Panama. Perceptions they had of information and communication technologies were measured, which yielded very interesting data that reflect trends in the use of them in young people who were born into the digital age. The central conclusion is that ICTs are here to stay, they evolve faster and faster and have more advantages than disadvantages. However, it is necessary to know what their disadvantages are and promote solutions that reduce their negative praxis.
