Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to explain the concept of „iGen” introduced to scientific literature by American psychologist J. M. Twenge. This was done by taking into account other terms related to the youngest generation, such as Generation Z, Generation Y, Millennials, Generation C or Generation Alfa. Then the differences and similarities between them were pointed out. The definitions of the above concepts need to be ordered and such attempt was made in this article. In addition, the concept of „iGen” is analyzed in the context of the reader, the user of information derived from new media and „old” media and the addressee of bibliological communication. For this purpose, the results of studies available in Poland on the use of media by the youngest recipient/user are recalled.
