Humankind is facing many existential global problems that require international and transgenerational efforts to be solved. Preparing our next generation with sufficient knowledge skills deal such imperative. Fortunately, the digital environment provides foundational conditions for children’s adolescents’ exploration self-learning, which might help them cultivate necessary future survival.

The results showed higher literacy are more curious have better regarding issues (i.e., climate change, disease, overpopulation, aging, etc.). Students’ curiosity also mediates relationship between knowledge. Based these findings, we argue explorative space essential natives’ education survival, individually employment requirements) socially making informed decisions creating innovations can helpful society). Children’s exposure should promoted improve their rather than prohibition. During exploration, emotional intelligence critical in mitigating risks, or threats, natives navigate overcome chaotic processes occurring unchartered waters virtual world.
