How do new technologies affect young people’s relationships, health, and sense of security in times of crisis? Does technology help us minimize losses, or does it create new challenges?

How do young people from Generation Z perceive the impact of new digital solutions on relationships, health, and sense of security in times of crisis? Can innovation-driven changes make our daily lives better in an era of rapid technological development?

In the article Mitigating Losses Through Application of ICT as Perceived by Generation Z - Study Results, which we prepared together with Dr. Tomasz Eisenbardt and Dr. Tomasz Parys, we analyze the opinions of students at Warsaw universities on the role of technology in the face of losses experienced during the pandemic, conflicts, and economic crisis. The results of our research show that modern technologies most often support young people in maintaining ties and contact with others, taking care of their health, engaging in various activities, and cooperating with others, although their impact on perceptions of reality and the sense of freedom sometimes raises concerns.

The authors point out that the responsible use of ICT, combined with the development of public policies and education, can help mitigate the negative effects of crises and support the building of a more inclusive and resilient society in the future.
