The study showed that in designing a web application called MPIS (Mobile Polarization and Integration Social) based on the results of an analysis of the widespread use of digital-based media which influences social interactions in generation Z. The design of this web application is well-made and can be used to check the digital literacy of generation Z, because the MPIS web application has been validated by experts and is limited and is suitable for use for limited trials and implemented in class to increase the digital literacy of students or generation Z. It is hoped that the recommendations from this research can be implemented and be useful for learning activities in the classroom in increasing digital literacy and students are able to sort out and choose what to watch or use social media wisely to shape the golden generation into good citizens. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
