Contemporary communication media contributed to the emergence of a new form of social cohesion. Researchers have come to a conclusion that it is the new phase of social development – network society. Internet became the main medium of interpersonal communication, it eliminated the physical and territorial limitations at the same time the access to cultural content became more egalitarian. The nature of relations between the Internet users has gained the attention of numerous authors who take opposing stances, some do not see the medium as a threat to direct interaction and others who view it as the cause of the breakdown of society based on direct relations. Polish national research indicate that using cultural content online does not affect the participation in other cultural forms, including outdoor activities. This research show that the Internet is becoming a key medium in delivering cultural content and it is through it that the Polish youth participates in culture.
