This paper discusses part of the first results of the CONECT-ID project, which addresses young people's digital identities from the perspective of hyperconnectivity based on their perception of time in digital leisure. Its main objective is to analyze young people's perceptions, opinions, and motivations regarding their use of technology and habits. To do so, a qualitative study was performed using discussion groups with 130 participants organized in groups of respondents aged 12 to 16 and 16 to 18 from Castilla y León (Spain). Analysis was then performed using the NVivo software program. The results showed that there is a difference in use and tools between the age groups. However, both sets of groups use their free time to seek to communicate with their peer group and share personal information but also to find information, which they say they cannot find in other spaces, such as school or their families. In addition, they also say that using technology, social networks, and mobile apps allows them to disconnect. Young people claim to lose the concept of time, in particular the older ones. Younger respondents report having less availability of screens and more parental controls, while in contrast older one's state that they use the time management strategy less as self- regulation. The results found warrant focusing the pedagogical discourse on designing and promoting quality education to find solutions to this new technological paradigm that involves young people. They were born with digitality incorporated, but it is necessary to incorporate education not only from a basic conception of educational research, but from approaches that result in guidelines for political and educational action. Working to establish healthy personal relationships, as well as developing social and communication skills, are key aspects to go beyond the concept of technology as mere entertainment.
