DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY: CRITICAL AND CAUTIONARY OBSERVATIONS
ABSTRACT
This article critically discusses the influence of digital technologies on the human mind. It traces the
complex relationship humans have with technology, both in historical and modern terms. With the
invention of the digital code particularly, humans have created a technology that operates at the level of
the mind, rather than at the level of the body, with enormous potential to fundamentally change our
cognitive faculties. The article further investigates the health implications of the combined use of digital
media and electronic devices, as well as their impact on learning and academic achievement. It attempts to
dispel the myth of differences between so-called “digital natives” and “digital immigrants” and concludes
by advocating for a more cautious and knowledgeable approach to the incorporation of digital
technologies in our everyday lives and educational processes.
