Intergenerational Dialogue in the Network Society. The analysis of chosen examples from social media

Abstract

This article shows the problem of intergenarational dialogue in the postmodern world, dominated by digital media. Representants of older generations are standing against a serious challenge: they have to tame virtual space, which is the natural envirenment for young people. Examples of politics-seniors who are active in social media (TikTok, YouTube) presented in this work, prove that in the present days only those people who know the language of network’s challenges can influence young generations of potential voters.
