The TIC, a tool of intensive use for the immigrants in Spain

The TIC is an important reconnaissance group and communication. Therefore, the more far they are to each other two people, the more useful will be to them and the more probabilities will exist of they use which them. This logical sequence finds its confirmation in the official numbers in a very concrete scope, the one of the immigrants.

The Association for the Mass media Investigation, along with an important consultancy, offers data because in Spain there are 4.5 million immigrants (2008), which supposes the 10 percent of the population. Those people, and are the interesting data concerning the society of the information here, realize the double of calls that the Spaniards through movable telephone.

In many cases, that move outside their country to accede to new markets of work count on two or more cellular apparatuses: one to communicate with its family, other to be related within the own country of welcome (in this Spain case) e, even, a third party solely for work questions.

With the use of the electronic mail, of videochat or the services of instantaneous mail it happens the same: the public immigrant, independent of his social condition, finds in the new technologies the best one communication channel, reason why not only they become habitual users (e, even, advanced), but induce to other members of its family or friendly group to do it, whatever of the age of these. And it is that the desire of grandfathers to communicate with its grandsons can much more be powerful who the fear to use the TIC.

In the case of most experienced, the beginning of blogs or pages Web is habitual. In this way, they manage to jump the border between the personal communication and the social communication, so that they are able to physically arrive as much at more or less near objectives (other immigrants with similar interests) like a those more moved away, perhaps in the origin country, that are eager to know the situation in Spain.

But still it is possible to take a step more: only in Madrid, according to the University King Juan Carlos, in the last years have been born 70 electronic means directed to the Latin public, and in this group they are including transmitters and television channels.

In the opposite end, the habitual users of the locutorios (in Madrid he has more than 2,500). These points of contact allow their users to elude the prices of the broadband or the acquisition of a personal computer without resigning to something so appraised as the communication with theirs.

According to the NSI, 700,000 children of immigrants they live in his country of origin and grow seeing one or both ancestors through the screen of the computer.
