Digital Natives and Education

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to demonstrate various views on the contemporary users of new technologies, called Digital Natives. Today’s learners are called digital experts by some authors, because of their continuous existence on the Internet. In turn, others notice that existence in the virtual world does not elevate to the rank of an advanced user of new technologies. This belief is accompanied by long-standing observations made by the authors, as well as statements provided by the students them selves, who often feel lonely in their contact with the academic reality. The article is an attempt to show that despite constant changes, development of technology, inflow of information, the master-pupil relationship is still desired.
