Paper Abstract:	In this article we dismantle the digital imperative of youth and examine the practices and ideals of digital everyday life of Finnish youth, born in 2005-2006 in Finland. Our paper focuses on the different digital engagements in young peoples' everyday lives and what these engagements tell us about the ideals of digital citizenship and agency of young people. We ask, how these ideals shape the understandings of the use? To achieve these objectives, we draw on both qualitative and quantitative data in analyses of their interpretations of the use of digital technologies and their meanings. Our research reveals that it is important to elaborate how digitalisation is accessed, understood, and used, how it is constructed, and how people make sense of it.
