Every seventh 15-year-old does not have sufficient reading skills and can only decode the text. From the perspective of education, one of the crucial causes of the threat of functional illiteracy are the significant distractions resulting from the improper use of screen devices. Thus, the modern economy, based on the exploitation of attention, appears to excessively strain individuals' ability to concentrate, leading to a decline in cognitive autonomy and the growing problem of functional illiteracy. The aim of this article is to analyse the right to attention as a tool to protect individuals in the context of the impact of digital technologies on education and cognitive development. The article examines the relationship between the right to attention, mental integrity, educational challenges, and the necessity of regulating mechanisms within the information economy. The article highlights the particular harm that attention economy poses to vulnerable groups, especially childrenV tehnološki realnosti, v kateri vse bolj dominirajo zaslonske naprave, se je zmanjšala sposobnost ljudi pri uporabi pisanega in rabljenega jezika na način, ki nam omogoča učinkovito delovanje v družbi (funkcionalna nepismenost). Vsak sedmi petnajstletnik nima zadostnih bralnih spretnosti in zna besedilo le dekodirati. Z vidika izobraževanja so eden ključnih vzrokov za grožnjo funkcionalne nepismenosti velike motnje, ki so posledica nepravilne uporabe zaslonskih naprav. Tako se zdi, da sodobno gospodarstvo, ki temelji na izkoriščanju pozornosti, pretirano obremenjuje posameznikovo sposobnost koncentracije, kar vodi v upad kognitivne avtonomije in vse večji problem funkcionalne nepismenosti. Namen članka je analizirati pravico do pozornosti kot orodje za zaščito posameznikov v luči vpliva digitalnih tehnologij na izobraževanje in kognitivni razvoj. Članek preučuje razmerje med pravico do pozornosti, duševno celovitostjo, izzivi izobraževanja in potrebo po regulativnih mehanizmih v informacijskem gospodarstvu. Članek poudarja posebno škodo, ki jo ekonomija pozornosti povzroča ranljivim skupinam, zlasti otrokomTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Mariboru, Pravna fakulteta
