Abstract
In this study the author examines the impact of social media on the field of education and worklife. The article will summarise the basics of digitalisation, the nature of the Internet and social media in particular, and finally discuss the phenomena that have emerged in the information society and that are having an increasing impact on the world of learning and work. These include the always online state, the visual turn, the multitasking, a shortened attention span, the fear of missing out, the transformation of human memory use, the strengthening of creative processes, the experience of flow, rapid orientation, greater autonomy or even the ability to live with mistakes.
