Digital culture is the environment that is influence by digital tools and technology that are being used. Common types of digital technology that influences our youths are social media, video games, remote school, virtual experiences and artificial intelligence.  According to the United Nations more than 50 percent of the world's population has been reached by advancement in rapid growth of digital technologies. Our youths now have the ability to form relationships and connections from all over the world, to communicate with family and friends in a way that was not possible in previous years. 

As we continue to evolve in a digital era the (United Nations Children Fund) states it is important for our youths to stay updated in digital literacy. Schooling, social welfare and future job opportunities may depend on how well our youths understand the digital world around them. Most of us can agree that we live in an ever-revolving environment and as the demand for digital access continues to increase its important that our youth are aware of how to navigate the digital world.  

The access to some digital tools can have negative effects.  As it becomes harder for some people to take their eyes of the screen and enjoy real life experiences, they are becoming more isolated. Engagement with digital tools seems to be starting even more younger than previous years and we have to determine what the effects of that will be. It is up to parents to ensure they are monitoring and limiting their children's screen time according to research (Christensen 2021) it can lead to obesity, irregular sleep, behavioral problems, impaired academic performance and violence.
