Resumen

Young people cannot really imagine a life without the internet and increasingly make their interactions in online digital environments and in general: it is very much part of their daily lives. Digital technology facilitates the use of mobile phone applications or ‘apps’ which enables young people to do seemingly unlimited activities such as playing games, buying commodities, or communicating with others from wherever they may be. Perhaps unsurprisingly, apps now exist which facilitate social and sexual relationships and are used for online dating communications. In many cases such apps are sold with the ideological promise of security and possible relationships and that, by downloading them, young people are just a swipe away from finding friendship, a one-night stand or perhaps something more long standing.
