“…Jovic et al [17] identified a shift between physicians of the ‘baby boomer' generation (born between 1946 and 1964) and the ‘generation X' (born between 1965 and 1980), with the latter showing less commitment to medical careers. Schmidt et al [11] described the attitude of the subsequent ‘generation Y' (born 1981 or later) as having high expectations of the work setting and further qualifications but assigning even less importance to academic titles than did previous generations. It has therefore become more difficult to attract the current generation of researchers to pursuing a scientific career.…”

“…It is currently unclear what role ophthalmic research in Germany will play in the future. Over the last several years there has been growing criticism of the working conditions within the scientific community in Germany; that is, concerns have been expressed that conducting research projects in ophthalmology has lost its attractiveness, in particular for potential junior scientists, who instead prefer to follow clinical careers or private interests [10,11]. …”

Purpose: To identify and describe the most relevant obstacles to carrying out ophthalmic research in Germany. Methods: Two research methods were used to assess current problems in ophthalmic research. First, 55 expert interviews were conducted with major stakeholders in ophthalmic research, and key problems were identified. An online questionnaire was then sent to 3,080 German ophthalmologists, of whom 927 responded by evaluating the current research situation within ophthalmology in Germany. We devised a score to rank areas of concern by multiplying the responders' rate, ranging between -3 (‘I disagree completely') and +3 (‘I fully agree'), with the percentage of response frequencies. The maximum possible score was 300. Results: The lack of opportunities to combine clinical work and research (score: 231.8) as well as unattractive career perspectives (175.7) were identified as the most relevant problems. Further barriers were difficulties in acquiring research funds (155.7), organizational problems at the local level (143.7) and a lack of support for women (24.1; among women: 122.3). Potential improvement was expected in particular from exemption from clinical work for scientific purposes; this was found to be more appealing than more prestigious awards for research achievements. A widely held position was that research projects should focus more closely on common eye diseases, and that vision research needs a more prominent profile among politicians and in the public arena. Conclusion: Our findings may help to initiate improvements in both research performance and outcomes.

“…Ďalej bolo zistené pozitívnejšie vnímanie sociálnych sietí generáciou Y. Respondenti spadajúci do tejto skupiny preferujú komunikáciu s inými práce cez sociálne siete. Uvedené zistenia sú v zhode aj s inými výskumnými šetreniami podobného charakteru, napríklad [18] poukazujú na fakt neoddeliteľnosti počítačov od života mladých ľudí, autori ďalej uvádzajú, že mladí ľudia trávia svoj voľný čas prevažne prihlásení na sociálnych sieťach a chatovaním. Mladí ľudia preferujú komunikáciu práve cez vyššie zmienené možnosti, v porovnaní s komunikáciou tvárou v tvár.…”

Abstract:The using of information and communication technologies (ICT) is typical for the recent time in the all aspects of human life. Every age group is using ICT due to different purposes and the difference is possible to observe in the time length spent by using of ICT. On the basis of the mentioned fact, there is the dividing of people into the different groups according to using of ICT. One of the dividing is determining the group called "Generation Y" or "Millennial Generation". This generation comprises people born in 1981 and later. The Generation Y is different in the using of ICT and it has got different perception of ICT in the comparison with older people. The main aim of the investigation was to compare using and perception of ICT, with the focusing on the using and perception of Internet, by two groups of respondents. First group was created by respondents belonging to Generation Y and the second group was created by older respondents, which was called Generation X. The sample size was created by 266 respondents of different work environment, there were presented college students, academic staff, high school students. The Generation Y comprised of 200 respondents, the age range was between 17 -57 years. As the research tool was a questionnaire with 64 Likert type items focusing on the perception of ICT and 9 items focusing on the using of ICT. The methods of inductive statistic (chi-square for independent samples and t-test for independent samples) were used for the determination of differences. Also, the methods of multidimensional statistic were used for the determination of reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and validity (explorative factor analysis). Key words: questionnaire, Generation Y and X, information and communication technologies, quantitative methodology VNÍMANIE A POUŽÍVANIE ICT V RÔZNYCH VEKOVÝCH SKUPINÁCHResumé: Pre súčasnú dobu je typické využívanie informačných a komunikačných technológií (ICT) vo všetkých aspektoch ľudského života. Každá veková skupina využíva ICT kvôli iným účelom a rozdiel je možné sledovať aj v čase strávenom používaním ICT. Na základe uvedených skutočností dochádza k deleniu ľudí do rôznych skupín podľa používania ICT. Jedno z používaných delení vymedzuje skupinu nazvanú "Generácia Y" alebo "Millennial generácia". Táto generácia zahrňuje ľudí narodených v roku 1981 a neskôr. Generácia Y sa vyznačuje určitými odlišnosťami vo využívaní a vo vzťahu k ICT v porovnaní so staršími ľuďmi. Vo výskumnom šetrení bolo hlavným cieľom porovnať používanie a vnímanie ICT, pričom zameranie bolo hlavne na internet, dvoma skupinami respondentov. Prvú vytvárali respondenti patriaci do Generácie Y a druhú starší respondenti, ktorá bola pracovne nazvaná Generácia X. Výskumnú vzorku vytváralo 266 respondentov rôzneho pracovného zaradenia, časť z nich bola tvorená vysokoškolskými študentmi, akademickými pracovníkmi, či učiteľmi zo stredných škôl. Do generácie Y bolo zaradených 200 respondentov, vek sa pohyboval v rozmedzí 17 až 57 rokov. Ako výskumný nástroj bol použitý dotazník so 64...
