The article is devoted to the analysis of the digital activity of seventh grade schoolchildren in two educational environments: urban and rural. To compare digital activity, the following parameters are analyzed: the frequency and duration of use of digital devices, the structure and goals of accessing the Internet, the level of proficiency in digital services, as well as the degree of independence and digital literacy of adolescents. It is concluded that urban schoolchildren have a higher level of digital activity, since digital tools are an important part of their lives for them, and therefore they tend to turn to artificial intelligence to solve learning problems. At the same time, for village students, gadgets are currently more of a tool for solving everyday tasks related to virtual communication, but educational goals also occupy an important place. Rural schoolchildren, according to the author's assumption, are more inclined to independently analyze information on the Web.
