Counteracting the Negative Impact of Digital Technology through Strengthening Digital Citizenship Competencies as a Form of Strengthening the Values of Defending the Nation of the Young Generation
Abstract
Threats from negative impacts of digital technology can damage the integrity and sovereignty of the Indonesian nation. This is due to the very rapid development of digital technology. One of the threats is the spread of fake news, hate speech, and digital crime, which disturb the public. The threat of negative impacts from digital technology must be handled seriously because it makes people anxious. Today’s young generation is often found to be victims of the negative impacts of using digital technology. This happens because many young people use digital technology in their daily lives without adequate digital knowledge and skills. Therefore, attitudes and actions are needed to counteract the negative impacts of digital technology by strengthening digital citizenship competencies. The method used in this research involves literature review data collection techniques, using relevant sources, both national and international articles, and then compiling data related to the problem. Defending the country in the digital era involves strengthening digital citizenship competencies, which include digital skills, digital ethics, digital culture and digital security. Strengthening digital citizenship competencies is crucial as a form of defending the country and counteracting the negative impacts of the use of digital technology.
