This paper analyzes the online habits of the generation of young people between the ages of 16 and 24, focusing on different aspects of their digital life. First, the basic features of this generation, known as Generation Z, are highlighted, which is characterized by high technological literacy and continuous connection to the Internet. It then looks at their use of social media, with a particular focus on how Generation Z uses platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube to communicate, express their identity and consume content. In the part that deals with the consumption of content and information, it was analyzed how Generation Z accesses information, and how they filter and evaluate digital content. Special attention is paid to the impact of the Internet on the social life and mental health of young people, with a discussion of the advantages and challenges brought by constant connectivity. The paper also deals with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the online shopping habits of this generation, as well as their transition to online education, exploring changes in learning approaches and adaptation to new digital tools. Through research conducted among respondents of that age group, key trends were identified, such as dominant use of mobile devices, high presence on social networks, and preferences for specific applications and content. The results indicate that this generation uses the Internet primarily for communication, entertainment and information, with an emphasis on visual content and short forms of media. Also, the research highlights potential risks, such as addiction to developing digital literacy and the conscious use of digital tools.
