Is technology good for kids?

[jonahtavita04]

So true. I believe that if the teacher helps children to find that balance, and to show them fun but productive games on the internet then a kids approach to their technological device will be a lot more beneficial.

Come on dude. This picture says a lot. being a kid on your phone and probably past your bed time is what you don’t need to be honest. He looks so into his phone and its dark.Research says that playing on your phone while in the dark can affect your eyesight negatively. He should be getting some rest because school requires your full attention and energy. Plus. at this age i didn’t even have a phone and was not even allowed to stay up late.

Emphasize ‘’finding the balance.’’ This is usually where it falls apart for children because most of them are unable to find the balance with their use of technology. Being so addictive to technology kids it gets hard for kids to give it up. But when they d find that balance then everything else becomes easier and life treats you better! find the balance and use technology wisely.

The aftermath of it all. This is what not do with your time and use of technology. This picture certainly says a thousand words.

Exposing the Negative Effects of Technology on Kids

Using technology as an educational tool has a primary impact on the way that teachers help kids to learn, according to the Pew Research Center. Although technology, the media and electronic devices ...

Exposing the negative effects of technology on kids. Reading this article starts to make you think whether giving kids so much time on the internet and gaming consoles is good. I mean, i wouldn't want the influence of technology be the reason for obesity and health problems. i also believe that making friends in the real world is a lot more better than on social media.

This young lad is going to grow up to be a genius. I believe that a child without technology, that actually enjoys the outdoors, enjoys doing homework will succeed a lot more than a child who is constantly on their tech device. I believe it’ll be because a child without technology can work out and solve problems using their head and not turning to the internet for all the answers as oppose to the child who is constantly on their device.

This seems like a happy family right? that’s probably because they use technology wisely within their family. There’s many negative impacts of technology towards families. But then again they can also be very helpful. I believe it comes down to the way you use it. we should be using technology wisely rather than letting it consume us!

Technology overload! lol This is a deep one, if children get spoiled with technology they turn into monsters! its simple, limit your child’s internet and technology usage and they’ll be alright!

Is Technology Making Your Children Mindless Instead of Mindful?

Between the unlimited exposure to technology and the often nonstop, overscheduled lives that so many children lead these days, there is little opportunity for them to ever experience anything that approximates a Zen-like mindfulness or calm.

This article is about technology making kids mindless, because of the amount of time they spend on the internet and social media it does make you wonder whether children are going to grow up into doctors, police, teachers. Or if they’re going to lose their mind before they’re twenty? technology is certainly taking over but then again it’s how you use it right?

This says a lot. These two, probably brother and sister should be talking, joking and teasing each other but that’s not the case. Would you rather play on your phone and not socialise with your family and friends? I wouldn't! With technology taking over, bonding time with family and friends is decreasing. Sad.

Cute, but i don't think a kid should be on a laptop at this age? right? i mean where are the toy keys, teddy bears, where is this baby’s clothes even?! Starting kids young on technology will not enhance or develop their brain. I believe kids need to know how to do things physically without using the internet or google or wikipedia. I believe this would make kids a lot more smarter! Just saying #DontMindMe

Tech is killing childhood

Time spent on gadgets could be hampering kids' ability to connect to each other and the "real" world

This article is about a mums 10 year old son being sexually harassed on social media. Its quite sad for a parent to go through that kind of stuff let alone the 10 year old boy! This is exactly why technology is harmful to children.

There is no doubt about it, technology has made our lives better in too many ways to count. Nanny cams, baby monitors, and GPS navigation systems are ...

This article speaks about 6 ways technology is killing our children today. I agree with this article because it’s such an easy life on social media and a person could say a lot behind the keyboard. But what they're missing out on is something real. Developing friends on social media is not real and it can also be called ‘’catfish’’. Another reason why i agree with the article is because there is a lot of bad people on social media which could lead to cyberbullying. I wouldn't want my child in the future to be bullied and i don't think anyone would!

WOW! This is deep! Parents back in the day didn't have the resources we have now. But they managed to pass with flying colours and ended up with great jobs. Whereas the generation nowadays and more so the children can’t even go a minute without searching on google for the answer to a question. I believe if our parents can do it then so can we!

This was a funny one, but also very true. Most children now days come home from school and jump straight on to the play station or computer. I believe that by always playing games on the computer or play station you really don't have a social life or you'll avoid playing outside with the neighbour etc. But for me personally being sociable and making new friends will grow your confidence and self-esteem.

This picture shows how technology can have a bad influence on children. With this child being deeply engaged into a Star wars game and from the looks of it this seems like a violent game. I believe that he will lose the ability to feel empathy because of the influences of these types of games.

Is technology ‘’dumbing’’ down children? This video I agreed with Allison Armstrong as she explains that playing games and using Facebook isn't doing any good for a child’s creative development, critical thinking and intellectual development. She also explains that the amount of time a child spends on a computer is really not enhancing their education.
