Abstract

We are witnessing a process of accelerated innovation in information technologies which is leading to the emergence of new media and services, which in turn are generating a multiplicity of new forms of communication (Cebrián Herreros, M. 1994. P. 165). Internet, e-mail and television on demand are some of these new media and services that are now within the reach of consumers. Although the different forms of communication have revolved around technology, never before have they been so dependent on technological activity. Technology is not only a work tool, it is becoming an added value in production chains, it is even confidential information of the different media that make their technology a value of strategic importance.
