Summary/Abstract: The article presents the results of a study conducted by the author in 2017 on the development of the “touch screen generation” based on the example of a mother’s description of a two-year-old child’s activity. The qualitative study shows that in family upbringing, a smartphone is the most widely used medium by the two-year-old child. Although very appealing and attractive to the child, this medium is not excessively used in the child’s play. In addition, the results of the research show that the smartphone may perform an educational function in the upbringing of a two-year-old child and that it is a medium the use of which quickly becomes a habit for a child.
