The theme of this final paper is "The influence of modern technologies and media on the student's population". This paper describes the modern technologies and media that are used today to communicate, ease of access and availability of all data, and exchange of information and knowledge compared to the past times. With the appearance of the Internet as global network and platform containing all the information, people now have everything in one place. Likewise, the exchange of information and data between distant subjects today is not the least problem either. These are just a few of the benefits that modern technology and the media bring, but the vain multitude of time spent on the Internet and social networks, as well as the dependence on them, the isolation and sense of alienation at people, control and management of technology over society and many other potential dangers are also just a part of the negative and harmful sides that modern technology and the media can cause. Within the work, research was also conducted among the student population at two college in Zagreb. The aim of the research was to see the awareness of students when modern technology and the media are brought into question, and to what extent the students are aware of all the advantages and disadvantages that technology and the media carry with themselves. 100 students participated in the research, and the results showed that most were well-informed and that consciously consider of all the positive and negative sides of modern technology and the media. What was wanted to achieve with this paper is to raise awareness and point out all the advantages and benefits, but also the disadvantages and threats that come as a consequence of (non)the proper use of modern technologies and media.
