22 September 2021 – “Generation gap” has long existed in society. However, in the face of increasingly-popular digital technologies, social media have not only changed people’s ideas and behaviors, but they have also created “new space” for people to express themselves.

In such situation, online space has often spawned conflicts and deception. Clashing there are two groups of netizens. The first, Digital Migrant, refers to people who were born in the Analogue Age. But they have now migrated to the Digital Age. In this group are baby boomers, Gen X and Gen Y. The second, Digital Native, was born in the Internet Age. They can thus use digital technologies so smoothly.

Recognizing that online community would become more pleasant if its members used digital space constructively and safely, dtac has invited youngsters to #changetheworldduringschoolbreak with dtac Young Safe Internet Leaders’ Camp (YSLC) under the theme of “Constructive Online Culture”.
