Abstract
Cyberspace is the environment where contemporary society, and in particular its younger generation, lives and functions. It is an area which offers a spectrum of new opportunities with regard to education, communication, one's professional career as well as leisure time. In addition to its unquestionable advantages, cyberspace provides ample ground for numerous hazards that have to be confronted by social scientists, humanities scholars and those pursuing engineering disciplines. This paper is designed to provide and discuss examples of areas, rules and methods relating to the use of multimedia in the contemporary instructional and educational environment, and to outline opportunities and problems connected with the status and role of electronic media in society. There are various views and positions regarding the role and status of computerisation of Polish education. On one hand there are those who are of the opinion that it is necessary for schools to teach new cultural techniques, and on the other hand, many people subscribe to the view that IT education should be abolished if the computer disturbs personal contact between the teacher and the student. That is why media education should be aimed at inculcating students with a cautious attitude towards media.
