Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are one of the most powerful agents in world social development. Technology not only makes innovation possible in the fields of economy, commerce, work, and the means of delivery of information, culture, leisure and education, but it also generates a human revolution based on the new uses of traditional media and in the types of social and individual relationships provided by the new media. We are already in an interconnected world. The future is in communication not as an added value good, as it is still considered at present, but as a component of its' own essence.

Education stands out as an essential instrument for the new change, because a profound change can only happen as a consequence of human beings' needs, desires and aspirations. A "non human" technology, that is to say, a technology that leaves man aside, cannot exist, because it doesn't make sense. Technologies are really transformers when they become part of every day actions.

Education uses technology as a learning means while at the same time understanding and making sense of it in order to introduce it into society at large. In these times, in which changes occur quickly, the new tools are necessary for learning not only when in school but at any time, in order to increase and update knowledge throughout life. It will be necessary, nevertheless, to foresee dangers present in the new media and to find an ethical path which also addresses responsibility so that we all have the chance to share the advantages of an interconnected world.

Red Digital magazine begins its' first issue with more questions than answers about the influence and consequences of information and communication technologies, but firmly believes the proposals the technological change presents to education and society in general.

We state the ICT's transforming and creative potential and we use it in this new publication. Red Digital, created using the new technological resources, contemplates and develops aspects related to the application of the new resources in education, identifying a specific theme as the focus of attention in each issue, while at the same time promoting a permanent on line communication philosophy through the different sections.

We hope that readers follow the development of this adventure, join our determination and help us build a site to share experiences in the field of education and the new information and communication technologies.
