Summary/Abstract: There are no doubts regarding the impact of digital media on the formation of contemporary values, value orientations and lifestyle, including education. Young generation does not read printed media and books any more, and lacks the basic general information regarding the society, history, culture, arts or the personalities who have crossed “the Rubicon” of the generational interests. Have the “new media” contributed to the fact that this is “the dumbest generation”, as M. Bauerlein called it? The paper attempts to analyze this issue. It will also present several years of author´s exploring (realized at FMK UCM), focusing on the topic of general socio-political, historical and cultural knowledge of our students. It also identifies the reasons of this negative state and searches for some starting points.
