The conceptual context of the Knowledge Society offers new elements on the position that children and teenagers may be able to hold in the foreseeable future. The variables are registered according to the importance that education and a critical spirit get from the Knowledge Societies, the perspectives of a global society that operate through the net and that acquire an awareness of the problems in a universal context, the participation and innovation in public spaces for collective decision-making, the determination of a framework of ethical sufficiency based on the rights and interests of new generations, and the construction of new social scenes that place children as the active main characters in collective actions.

Palabras clave : Knowledge Society; Child; Childhood citizenship; Childhood in net.
