In the completely digitalised and networked world, I find it dangerous, especially for children, because everything is now available on the Internet. They can google information, they can somehow google their class test results and so on or download their homework completely. This is to an extent that I do not know from my school days. The Internet was just starting up a little bit then and today, I think, the keyword “media competence” is more important than ever before. If the child researches the Internet for a school project, how does the child know that the information he or she reads there is not fake news? Or that something is being denied? Or that it is coloured by some political direction or whatever in any way? Children definitely have to learn to classify and judge information, so that they can really move through the digitalised everyday life through media competence.
