Indonesia has recognized the growing demand for information technology, with the most rapid adoption of this technology being amongst its young people. Within the perspective of a balanced knowledge information society, the adoption of technology is crucial for improving social development in developing countries and is considered a particularly important tool in education. The education sector is well-placed to harness the potential of ICT for the millennial generation in these societies. Based on a survey of students enrolled in a university in Jakarta, this study attempts to identify the learning and development opportunities available through digital technology by exploring both how university students in Indonesia use this technology, and how they experience and perceive the benefits of digital learning. In particular, we examine how their access to and use of technology is associated with their digital literacy and their perceived usefulness of ICT. In general, Indonesian university students are actively engaged in a number of diverse activities online, including educational activities, which in turn result in increased online learning outcomes. A better understanding of the role of digital literacy and learning environments and effective use of technology for learning can provide important insights into education and technology use in Indonesia and similar contexts. Introduction Today’s young people are predominantly portrayed as tech-savvy. Their tech fluency is taken for granted, hence the term ‘digital native’ (Prensky 2001) which has often been used to explain the difference between the younger and older generations. It is evident that the current generation is familiar with conventional technologies such as the internet and smartphone. Nevertheless, it is important to look more deeply into ways of using technology, nuanced differences in this use, and the effect of technology adoption on young people. Critical commentary on this view of young people and technology has been made, particularly with regard to the lack of empirical observation (Kennedy, Judd, Dalgarno & Waycott 2010). More in-depth consideration of their different practices and perceptions should be made by adopting broader and more open-minded perspectives in research concerning younger generations.
