The change is one of the attributes of our time, especially in the field of technology, where rapid technological advances led to the emergence of so-called New Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to impose, in turn, a new technological paradigm symbolized by the Internet and characterized as impressive in terms of its social, economic, cultural and educational (Cummings, Jonathon, John & Robert, 2006).
