Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the research was to describe how a sample of second-grade elementary school students approach modern digital technologies and methods of communication, how they use them, and how often they encounter them. Furthermore, it was investigated how the respondents typically spend their personal free time, whether they have already encountered risky moments in cyberspace, how they reacted and whether parental control works during their activities on the computer and on the Internet. Before starting the research investigation, three working hypotheses were formulated, which related to the frequency of encounters between boys and girls with defective website content, the daily time spent by pupils with better and worse results on computer activities, and the degree of parental supervision of younger and older children.
