Abstract

The present research focuses on the prosume of the third wave, being an issue of worldwide interest and known as the intangible wealth of the economy, which has originated from the Internet, where users have the possibility of not only being passive consumers, but also to become active consumers or called prosumers. In this context, we intend investigate the causes that originate the low production of content in learning websites and social networks in the cantons of La Libertad and Salinas. The study use a quantitative approach and an descriptive research, concluding in the lack of educational policies and the weak culture in the use of the web by governments and higher education institutions, as well as the lack of interest and of knowledge in contributing or producing on the web by young people.
