ABSTRACT
The weak development of several communication practices here has little to do with personal skills, in fact. The poor repertoire of communication tools raises the question of acquired technical skills: With whom should I communicate? Why use a new tool? How might it affect the family equilibrium? The main elements that limit ICT usage are a poor relational network (few ICT interlocutors), the relative distance from the kinship, the dissension with certain relational circles, the geographical proximity of the main correspondents, the over-valorization of face-to-face interaction, and the relatively marked degree of household closure.
