Abstract

What is needed for today's children, who are considered digital natives, is not just someone who enjoys digital technology, but someone who can "be a creator = someone who changes the world". In the future, when they have something they want to do or create, it will be difficult to realise it without the help of digital technology. New technologies that happen one after another, such as AI, IoT, Metaverse and ChatGPT, are being used in sports, games and everyday life that are familiar to children. This book explains the basics and latest information on digital technology with full-page colour illustrations and concise text for the children who will pioneer such an exciting digital future. This book is a must-read for today's children living in a digital society.
