Abstract

In the study of the digital environment in which people live and evolve, methodological problems may arise for researchers in the humanities and social sciences. This article examines the compatibility of conventional tools in the social sciences for the study of screen-based digital practices, that of the computer. Indeed, the Internet and its screens do not allow the use of traditional interviews, questionnaires and observations to collect accurate data on this environment (practical and consumption of the Internet). We propose a complementary method to conventional tools.
