Summary/Abstract: The world of ‘tribal digital users’ known as the ‘multitasking generation’ or ‘generation Z’ makes up its world out of thousands of pieces. This does not suffice if one wants to discover the mystery of man, encounter a culture, discover a great tradition or have faith in a personal God. Some people wrongly assume that it takes just one click or the reading of 140 characters to attain knowledge information, discover the truth or get to the heart of the matter. The purpose of this text is to aid the practical discovery of the principle that, in the final analysis, the media is more of a human victory than a technological one. The use of traditional and modern media may become a means for man to deepen his own awareness and discover signs of the Creator. This kind of competence can be acquired through parental awareness, inspirational teachers, catechists and group animators. They will be inspirational through the experience of their faith in the context of the communicative gains of the latest technologies. True teaching of the faith leads to a knowledge of God and the ability to distinguish good from evil in a contemporary context. A competent teacher of faith reveals the most important values to young people: love, life, family, truth in the slight of the Gospel and does so constantly using a new language and the new tools of communication.
