Research for the internet generation: milenialls and centenialls

Research constitutes one of the key processes of university management, which faces a complex situation, a product of the health crisis, exacerbated by the digital and generational gap in terms of approaching virtual scenarios. The Objective: to specify how technological digitization and the generation gap impact university research. The Methodology: a documentary research was carried out, through the bibliographic review of scientific articles taken from Latindex, Redalyc, SciELO, electronic books, documents from official organizations. Results: The university of this century must be dominated by science and technology with the participation of all its researchers. The levels of digital divide: access, use and appropriation of ICT by individuals and organizations (public or private), delay the use of these technologies. The analysis is complex and makes it difficult to develop strategies that allow an adequate management of generations at work and Conclusions: The challenge for teachers is even greater when they are aware that they are working with students born in the digital age, and therefore they are constantly receptive to all kinds of innovations.
