JPS 2017 focuses on the concept “technology”, in particular digital media, their uses, and impacts in human culture and development. As symbol systems, technologies are stable enough for shared understanding, yet amenable to use and transformation by children, adolescents, and adults across cultural contexts and for diverse purposes. Learning and development with games, social media, digital archives, word processors, and more can, thus, be studied as cultural tools in contexts of practice.
