Being Digitally Wise: Literature Study

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology affects various aspects of human life,
including education, economy, and communication. However, these changes also bring new
challenges, such as the spread of false information, vulnerable privacy, and inequality of access to
technology. Wise digital literacy is an urgent need in facing this challenge. Digital literacy means
knowing, the skills to understand, evaluate, and use digital information wisely. In the 4.0 era, digital
literacy skills are an important skill for all individuals, not only for those who are actively involved
in technology. This research aims to be able to prepare students as the next generation of the nation
so that they are wise in using digital-based media. The method used is by Systematic Literature
Review (SLR). The results of this study show that many factors influence the wise use of digital
media, namely the need for family, school, and community support in optimizing the use of digital
media. Strengthening character education and continuous mentoring is one example that can be
implemented in the school environment.
