This paper will deal with the influence of social networks as examples of modern media on the state that Baudrillard called hyperreality, that is, how such media follow and reinforce the logic of hyperreality and simulation. Changes in the understanding of the concept of education that take place by the logic of the postmodern will also be observed. The notion of education, which is central in pedagogical science, but also central in a person's life, experiences a turn towards an economy based on the knowledge and production of workers and moves away from education understood as an activity that changes us from within. As an example of modern media, I will mention the social networks "Instagram" and "TikTok", which amplify and with their popularity direct further changes in human consciousness and knowledge and bring us closer to the realm of the hyperreal. The notion of the hyperreal will be explained through Baudrillard's simulacrum and simulation and Debord's "society of the spectacle" and presented on the example of the two previously mentioned social networks. Eventually social networks and the media will be critically examined along with a proposal for action and reflection on this issue such as discourse analysis. It allows us to look at social media as games with their own rules. If we get to know the rules and look at them critically, we can create new, more acceptable discourses. This paper emphasizes the importance of pedagogy as a science of transformation that we increasingly need in dealing with the new challenges of today, and the problem of mass media and the changes they bring to us is worth considering.
