Digital technologies come with many advantages, but with their rapid expansion, the challenges that come with them are also expanding. A lot of young individuals are spending their afternoons using computers or mobile devices to play video games, chat with friends over social media or watch videos using the internet. The goal of my diploma thesis is to research whether the usage of digital technologies corelates with the academic success of primary school students from Slovenia. In the empirical part of my thesis, multiple linear regression analysis proved that the digital technology has negative impact on the academic success of Slovenian elementary school students. The students that spent more time using digital technologies had lower average academic success than those who spent less time using them. It was also proven that playing video games had more negative effect on academic success than the usage of social medias. In the final part of my thesis, I will present my thoughts about the possibilities of further research on this topic.
