  abstract = {the use of state-of-the-art technology (i.e., modern technology and Internet) in learning for the entire society (from adolescence to old age populations) in the Czech sociocultural environment remain uncertain. To address this gap in the literature, the objective of the current study was to analyze the use of modern technology (i.e., computer, laptop, or tablet) and the Internet (i.e., Moodle, Elportal, e-learning and online interactive programs, YouTube, Google or Seznam, etc.) in learning in the Czech population. The research instrument represented a self-rate questionnaire developed by the author. The sample consisted of 1,008 participants selected to represent socio-demographic distribution of the Czech population. The sample scored average in terms of modern technology and Internet use while learning. This trend was considerably lower the higher the age, regardless of the education level. Moreover, females used printed study materials more often than males. Out of the selected variables, age of respondents most strongly influenced the use of modern technology and Internet while studying. Moreover, education, region, and economic activity significantly varied the level of use of modern technology and the Internet use. The largest use of modern technology was detected among respondents with the largest size of place of residence (100,000 up). In contrast, gender did not vary the use of modern technology and Internet as learning tool. In addition, several potential limitations of the presented study were discussed.
