New information and communication technologies are an inherent part of the contemporary man’s living space. Since their very beginning, the media have always, to a lesser or greater extent, determined the functioning of individuals. Today, however, due to unlimited access, impressive growth of the media market and human creativity in the area of new technological developments, the involvement of mass media in people’s lives is taking on a new, unprecedented dimension. Such a state of affairs was envisaged as early as in the middle of the last century by, among others, M. McLuhan, who wrote that “the new media will transform us entirely: nothing will remain unchanged, untouched”, or J. Baurdrillard, who speculated at the time that media would become the life itself. Nowadays, these speculations are taking on a real form, especially as regards the net generation, which is an audience strongly dominated by the impact of the media for a simple reason, i.e. because its representatives — contemporary children and young people, unlike adults, were born and have been growing up in the digital world. Thus, the article is an attempt to present opportunities, challenges and threats involving widespread use of the latest technologies by digital natives. The authors show consequences of the phenomenon in the social, cultural, educational and security dimensions through references to the Polish and foreign literature, focusing on ambivalent implications of changes in the net generation’s way of thinking, communicating, collecting information and learning. Moreover, the article gives examples of juvenile perpetrators of attacks who were strongly linked with the virtual world prior to committing their crimes.

Niniejszy tekst wpisuje się w nurt namysłu nad szkołą w epoce przemian spowodowanych przez innowacje technologiczne. W pierwszej kolejności przedstawiamy w nim charakterystykę pokolenia sieci, koncentrując się na zmianach, jakie nastąpiły w mentalności młodych osób. Ta charakterystyka stanowi punkt odniesienia do dyskusji nad szkołą, jej powinnościami i ewentualnymi zmianami. Pytamy o to, czy zmiany są potrzebne, a jeżeli tak, to jakie. Zastanawiamy się nad tym, co w szkole jest godne uszanowania i zachowania pomimo przeobrażeń społeczno-kulturowych, a co wymaga redefinicji i praktycznych reform.

This text is consistent with the reflection on school in times of changes caused by technological innovations. The first part contains the characteristics of the net generation and focuses on changes in the mentality of young people. The characteristics constitute the reference point for a debate on school, its obligations and possible changes. We ask whether the changes are necessary and if yes, what would they be? We consider aspects worth respecting and maintaining despite the sociocultural transformations and those requiring redefinition and practical reforms.
