Summary/Abstract: The new media pose significant challenges for parents, teachers and educators. One of them is the unlimited space for the use of digital technologies. Its speed, interactivity and reach make it, next to family and peer group, the child’s environment of growth and development. The real and virtual worlds penetrate each other and the boundaries between them seem to be blurring. We become the participants of hyper reality – the world mediated by digital tools. The author presents the positive and negative aspects of hypermediatyzation, paying special attention to the youngest recipients, for whom the media become the source of their first developmental experiences.
