Summary/Abstract: It is hard to imagine how a modern society can function without in technology. Greater access to television and the internet open up many opportunities for us. We live in a society of information, which is characterised by the availability of knowledge and devices designed to make our daily lives easier. It is important to use wisely the opportunities that technology offers us. This is important in relation to education, Polish national heritage and broader culture. Often we can visit a specific place or participate in cultural life without even leaving our own home. This article is an analysis of the impact of modern technology how it helps us to protect and promote our national heritage. A description of the problem should begin with a presentation of the theory of modernization, which describes the stages of development of society, in order to show that despite the massive developments of technology, not everyone has the same opportunity to take advantage of its benefits. The internet undoubtedly brings a lot of good, but we have to be prudent in using the resources it offers.
