Abstract
Dijital teknolojilerin gelişmesiyle sanal ortamdaki deneyimlerin yeni olanaklara kapı araladığı günümüzü dijital çağ olarak tanımladığımızda bir olanaklar evreniyle karşılaştığımızı söyleyebiliriz. Ekolojik bir perspektiften gezegen üzerindeki varlığımızı düşündüğümüzdeyse, iklim değişikliğinin yarattığı riskler evreni bir çeşit kriz çağında olduğumuzu hatırlatmakta sanki. Kriz çağı ifadesi, sadece insanın çevreyle kurduğu ilişkiden ibaret değil elbette, toplumlara dair sorunları ve haliyle insan hakları krizlerini de kapsamakta. Olanaklar ile risklerin ortaklaştığı yerde pek çok başka konu gibi belirsizlik kavramı karşımıza çıkmakta. Dijital dünyanın olanakları ile ekolojik –ve dahi politik- krizin açmazlarını yeni çocukluk deneyimleri etrafında ele almayı amaçlayan bu yazıda, çocuklarla yaptığım saha çalışmalarından örnekler vererek, çocuk olma halinin belirsiz/tanımsız olarak algılanışına eleştirel bir bakış açısı getirmeye çalışacağım. Belirsizliğin etrafında düşünsel bir yolculuğa çıkarken olanaklar ve riskler evrenini yukarıda belirttiğim ikilik odağında ve kavram ikiliği ötesinde ihtimaller sunarak tartışacağım.

Abstract
A universe of potentials may emerge as long as we define the present world as the digital age, where digital technologies have developed and caused new possibilities upon virtual space experiences. When we consider our existence on the planet from an ecological perspective, the risky universe reminds us that it is like the age of crises constituted by climate change. For sure, the expression of the age of crises is not only a human relationship with the environment; this definition also includes the troubles in society, hence, human rights crises. We face the concept of uncertainty, just at the intersection of the potentials and pitfalls, where other issues also stand. This paper aims to touch upon the possibilities of the digital world and the traps of ecological –and also political- crises through new childhood experiences so that I will try to bring a critical perspective against the perceptions of being a child as unclear/undefined by giving an illustration of various fieldworks with children. I will discuss the universe of potentials and pitfalls through an imaginary journey around uncertainty regarding the distinction indicated above; further, by suggesting other possibilities beyond this binary.
