The five dimensions of truth values above must be developed as a benchmark for adolescent digital habits. Then, two previous components (digital knowledge and digital skills) must be understood
completely and comprehensively to effectively develop good morals as digital habits. In another
perspective, noble morality is equated with moral intelligence because it contains a person’s ability
to judge good things and bad things. Moral intelligence is seen as a person’s ability to understand
right and wrong, to have strong ethical beliefs, and act on these beliefs to be correct and honorable
(Borba 2008). Moral intelligence is needed for kindness, strong character, and to become a good
citizen. The results of the study showed that the most dominant is intelligence or fatonah. A person
who has high intelligence is supported by an attitude of wanting to communicate with others coupled with an honest or sidiq character. By having a consistent nature and being trustworthy, these
citizens have a sense of responsibility. There is an oddity in this finding, that honesty is supported
by intelligence and others follow.
To face the 21st century, the competence of citizens that needs to be improved includes increasing
awareness, understanding, and legal awareness. The millennial generation tends to use digital
technology in various aspects of life. Therefore, forming citizens is on a legal understanding
in IT to prevent cyberlaw (IT crimes). In today’s digital era, the values that must be upheld are
tolerance and caring for others following the second principle of Pancasila, namely fair and civilized
humanity. Jeffery (2012) revealed that the value of humanity is one of the obligations as citizens of
the world, that is respect for the rights of others and tolerance. Insulting and defaming other people,
including deception to others in any national society, is not justified, especially in cyberspace where
individuals can easily access and influence the perceptions of others.
Advances in information and communication technology must be useful for the welfare of the
community. This technology is a tool to create an intelligent and advanced nation. The Internet can
provide immense benefits to education, research, commerce, and other aspects of life. Citizens
who are civilized in the digital era should use technological devices that can be used according to
their designation as a mirror of digital society (digital citizenship) that upholds civilized values,
awareness of brotherhood and humanity, supports human rights, makes themselves citizens with
dignity as a human being, and there is also a balanced attitude between local interests (local
awareness) such as love of family, ethnic identity, awareness of the community and self-interest, and
global interests such as universal awareness of human equality and obedience to the constitution in
each of its actions as manifestations in the second principle of Pancasila, which is a just and civilized
humanity. Aristotle in Heater D. (2004) said that if citizens behave and follow the constitution, they
can be said to be good citizens. Still, good humans do not see the state because, basically, humans
are right from their conscience. This means that the behavior and attitudes of good citizens in the
digital era are based on their conscience.
Indonesia has different characteristics in fostering civilized citizens in the digital era. Based
on the objectives of national education, article 3 of Law No.20/2003 concerning the National
Education System imperatively outlines that: national education functions to develop abilities and
shape the character and civilization of a nation with dignity to educate the life of the country,
aimed at developing the potential of participants educated to become human beings who believe
and fear the Almighty God, have a noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative,
independent, and become democratic and responsible citizens. Things to be developed are noble
and intelligent characters in the use of social media. Efforts in forming civilized citizens in the
digital era are not only able to understand but are able to show morality, intelligence, tolerance,
caring, and human value development that can be done through social media.
Social media is very influential in various kinds of decision making. On the other hand, this
digital era must be able to form smart citizens. Smart in choosing information and smart in providing
information. Van Dijk’s (2011) writing showed that citizens of countries such as Korea, China, and
the United States must be cultivated or well educated in the current era of globalization, an are not
easily influenced by information alone. This is reinforced by the opinion of Cogan and Derricot
(1998) that global citizens must have several multidimensional national characteristics, namely: (a)
the ability to understand, accept, and respect cultural differences; (b) the ability to think critically and
