Abstract
The article presents the use of cell phones and tablets by youngsters ranging in age from 15 to 21 in Quintin Arauz, Centla, Tabasco, a rural indigenous community with high rates of schooling youths in Southeastern Mexico. The use of Internet coexists with traditional activities like fishing and agriculture, as well as recreational and leisure activities such as playing soccer and swimming in the river. This research explores from utopic and dystopic frameworks the recent use of information technologies in rural areas, documenting on the ground level how the promise of connectivity is lived; we provide evidence of the unequal capacities of rural young people in the face of promising and open information technologies, designating them as consumers.
