Labor et Educatio
Today’s children, so-called Digital Natives (digital natives), in contrast to
their parents and teachers, who are called Digital Immigrants (digital immigrants),
live in the world of media. Their childhood is strongly related to the TV. Afterwards
they enter the world of the Internet, computer games, mobile phones. The tools that
are in use are in their major part shaped by a man so the involvement of the younger
generation in the world of the media has significant impact on the process of education.
The article discusses the impact of the media on the formation of two types of
intelligence — the cognitive and the emotional ones, that are most strongly associated
with education. These effects have both the cultural and the neuronal level. The paper
presents the process of education in the world dominated by media as a situation that
educators are supposed to deal with, and takes into account the need to implement
education for rational and responsible use of the media.
