How do we get the good life in a digital society, and how can playing with technology give us necessary contemporary skills? The children must be competent consumers of technology, they must learn to be critical of the technology and they must understand what is hiding behind it. But it is not always something they learn in school.
Children and young people can gain digital empowerment through playing with technologies. They can learn to live the good life with technology through play, research, imagination, storytelling, digital fabrications, design, experiments and problem solving in school. The task must be solved by society, families and schools.
