    Lepičnik-Vodopivec, Jurka ; Samec, Pija
    Nowadays, technology represents an important part of our lives. It is present almost everywhere: in education, civil services, business area, and at home. ICT offers a chance for searching, choosing ... and using relevant data, what is recognized as a key competence. Even the lives of our youngest members are intertwined with it. This article describes the presence of information-communication technology (ICT) and its influence on the four-year-old children's home environment. The article is based on a research which studied the children's access to ICT, his or hers ICT usage, the ICT's influence on the development of the child's competences, and the relationship between the child and ICT. The article therefore introduces the main findings of this study in the form of concluding thoughts. These findings were made on a basis of the parent's opinions. Representing their child's views, the parents filled out a detailed questionnaire (sample of 130 parents) that allowed us to determine the children's attitudes towards ICT at home, and consequently ICT's influence on the child's early development. We also tested if there are differences according to the child's gender and parent's level of education. We found out that children come into contact with ICT at home and that its usage, to some degree, influences the development of the child's competences. The article also presents parent's opinions and suggestions for further studying.
