Guest author Lola S. Almendros, PhD in Philosophy of Science, offers a key essay that gives tone and depth to the issue: Techno-adolescents. New Ways of Understanding and Inhabiting the World. Almendros introduces the concept of “onlife life” to describe how information technologies have radically transformed the autonomy, cognitive development, and identity of young people. Her text is a call to promote critical technological literacy, which allows us not only to use digital tools, but also to understand them, question them, and decide how we want to live with them.

On the other hand, the magazine delves into the field of mental health with a particularly revealing contribution: the clinical experience of psychologist Daniel Ilzarbe and psychiatrist Rosa Díaz, who analyse from their consulting practice the impact of digital life on the emotional wellbeing of adolescents. Their article, Digital Adolescence in the Consulting Room, explores how psychological care has been transformed in the face of new symptoms and distress, such as anxiety derived from hyperconnectivity, overexposure, or the problematic use of social networks. Their practical approach complements theoretical analysis and provides tools for intervention and guidance. It sheds a light on techno-addiction, digital dependency, and problematic Internet use.

Issue 127 is completed by key articles on the neuroscience of the adolescent brain, the controversial use of screens in the classroom, emotional education, digital addiction, addictive algorithms, data protection, and media literacy. Voices such as those of David Bueno, Silvia Casanovas and Milagros Sáinz enrich the issue with a rigorous and, at the same time, accessible approach.

For their part, Juan Luis Redondo and Isabel María Álvaro stress the need to recognise the particularities of these age groups, who are not only early users of technologies, but also key creators and participants in new forms of communication and learning. In this sense, they highlight Telefónica’s responsibility and commitment to promote safe, inclusive, and educational digital environments that enhance the comprehensive development of children and adolescents in an increasingly connected world.

Among the interviews, the conversation between journalist Pablo Colado and writer Joana Marcús, one of the most representative voices of Generation Z, stands out. She reflects on the power of social networks in her relationship with readers and how they have shaped her creative process. Her testimony offers an intimate insight into how digital platforms can also be tools of expression, community, and empowerment for young people.

The magazine reaffirms its commitment to visual thinking as a form of critical and poetic interpretation of the digital world in which the new generations are growing up. The artist Cinta Arribas, author of the cover, the regular poster, and the illustration accompanying the article by guest author Almendros, sets the visual tone of the issue with a playful and empathetic aesthetic.

Other established visual creators with diverse styles also contributed to this issue: Jeff Benefit, Van Saiyán, Juárez Casanova, Kevin Ward, Andrea Devia Nuño, María Barriga, Daq, Daniel Tornero, Miriam Persand, Nadia Hafid, Víctor Coyote, Emma Gascó, Sr. García, Laura Wächter, Isbael Albertos, Daniel Montero Galán and Jorge Esteban. Together, they engage in a visual dialogue that expands the meaning of the texts and offers an aesthetic and conceptual challenge.
