Abstract
Technological progress is becoming more significant every year, and people are witnessing a number of innovations that are becoming part of their daily lives. The development of technology is advancing at great speed because the needs and requirements of people are becoming more and more difficult to meet, and so innovations are being developed to help fulfill these needs. However, not all people accept technological progress and innovation positively. The aim of the paper is to evaluate the opinion of people, specifically students of the selected higher education institution, on new technologies and innovations. In particular we wish to evaluate their general attitude towards technological innovation, but also their views on the use of specific technologies such as robots, drones or autonomous vehicles. Students' responses as to whether they would like them and whether they would be satisfied with the aforementioned innovations being widely used in the future vary. Some would benefit from the use of such innovations, others would not. Some students don't like it because people could lose their jobs and others don't really believe in such innovations. The results of the paper provide an evaluation of all the answers given by the students.

The main aim of this paper is to analyze what is the approach of consumers to technological innovations and especially what is their opinion on the implementation of robots / artificial intelligence, drones and autonomous vehicles in real life
A total of 105 full-time students of the PEDAS Faculty at the University of Žilina completed the electronic questionnaire, which the respondents filled in in order to obtain answers concerning their relationship to technological innovations and to robots / artificial intelligence, drones and autonomous vehicles
Summary
Technology and technological innovations each year increasingly affects the world around us. They influence both various activities people perform as well as the people performing those activities. Nowadays technology is increasingly more frequent changes. Many technologies that were considered new a few years ago and which were frequently used and represented technological advances are already today replaced by new technologies. This happens because of technological progress and the development of innovations which introduce substitution technologies to existing technologies, and, entirely new technological solutions (Pathan, 2018). The fact is that there are many different technologies at any time that can co-exist (Rosenberg, 1976)
