RUANO, Luis E; CONGOTE, Ernesto L  y  TORRES, Andrés E. Communication and interaction by the use of technological devices and virtual social media in university students. RISTI [online]. 2016, n.19, pp.15-31. ISSN 1646-9895.  https://doi.org/10.17013/risti.19.15-31.

This article describes technology user’s typologies (native, immigrant, reflexive and skeptical) as a result of the speech’s system sociological analysis application, from the quantitative approach on a documentary corpus integrated by discussion groups. A sample of students from two different programs from Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, Popayán headquarter is chosen, with whom are performed four discussion groups until reaching discursive saturation; the incorporation of the subjects to the typology is done after the four analysis categories are defined (perception, kind of use, use frequency and level of identity construction or identity redefinition) that allows to place discursively the subject in front of the diverse technological device mediated communication and interaction ways (computers, mobile phones, tablets) and virtual social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and WhatsApp), considering the generated impact in their personal and academic lives.

Palabras clave : Communication; interaction; identity; virtual social media; information and communication technologies.
