Contribution :	We suggest considering the perspective of the smart and sustainable cities (SSC) since it is an innovative approach to work around the intricacies regarding the growth of urban population. SSC proposes urban planning and management focusing on the citizen, in this matter thinking around the use of emerging technologies should mean merged this technologies with traditional infrastructure ICTs. Regarding the activities of children and adolescents in the digital environment, our contribution is to focus on a different way of understanding connection time. One of the challenges we have in Argentina is the quality and extension of internet connectivity, not only on mobiles devices but also on residential connections. Internet coverage in Argentina is one of the larger on Latin America, it’s the fourth country in the region.. In the last three years residencial connections have been duplicated, on January of 2019 there were 38.493.045 connections. The development on digital economy has prompt the creation of companies whose business model is based on personal data exploitation. This transformation of the production model led to change the paradigm on which commodities are not natural resources,instead there are personal aspect of the citizens. ADC suggests continuing and deepening the work for the incorporation of more women in ICT-related jobs as well as considering a broad perspective on women's access to ICT.
