En el mundo actual, los niños y jóvenes viven en una era tecnológica saturada por los medios de comunicación como el Internet, YouTube, Google y mensajes de texto. Su “mundo” está a menudo muy alejado de la realidad de los maestros y catequistas parroquiales, y sus experiencias con la tecnología y medios de comunicación están alterando su proceso de aprendizaje, especialmente en la formación de fe.
