The paper focuses on the transformations of the contemporary world with the intense presence of digital information and communication technologies. It analyses what we call space-time labyrinth which characterizes the contemporary hypertextuality of the world. Based on an understanding of digital technologies, we discuss the languages associated with it and its appropriation by the youth. We analyze the production of knowledge considering the global movement of free and collaborative production of knowledge through digital technologies, based on the so-called hacker ethic. We also think about education from a collaborative perspective, emphasizing the role of digital culture as an open place for new modes of relationships and exchange of cultures, promoting new possibilities for the production of knowledge and cultures. Finally, we propose to consider education from a plurality view for the construction of new forms of education.
