Digital Presence and Awareness Through the Content Consumption Habits of Different Generations

The digital world is everywhere in our lives, replacing the normal, physical space. The advance and development of computer technologies has many advantages for the future. However, these technologies have not only advantages but also disadvantages. Irresponsible digital presence, excessive use of digital devices, has consequences for both our physical and mental health. Young people are particularly vulnerable to these risks, as they are not aware enough to use these devices. This is dangerous because they have been socialised into the digital world and for them a constant digital presence is perfectly natural. However, inappropriate content sharing and uncontrolled news sharing can have consequences later on, both at an individual level and in terms of their careers at work. The aim of this study is to comparatively examine the digital presence of different generations in terms of digital awareness based on the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in Hungary.
