A Brief Note On Children And The Internet

The author’s study of the Internet’s genesis makes systematic links between the technological development and its organizational, social, and cultural environment. There are many available histories on the Internet, in print and online. Most are well-documented information on technology and its history. Some mention the fundamental concepts of communication, information, and knowledge. Abbate's work, however, goes beyond ordinary facts and her findings are most revealing.

In the modern world people operate their businesses and practically live their lives through the Internet, the use of social media, and easily obtainable information. Although easy access to nearly everything and everyone has many advantages, there are plenty disadvantages that accompany social media and easily obtainable information. If the world only knew how becoming aware of the rewards and drawbacks of social media and the ability to access information with ease people may change how they practice and consume it, especially when understanding the need to further question the reliability of their sources. It is important to understand the advantages,

This article discusses the use of the Internet in the classroom and how it can be used to personalize education. The effectiveness of the Internet in the classroom is evaluated at the Henry Hudson Regional School in Highlands, New Jersey. A faculty member at the school explains that the Internet was introduced to their classrooms to expand limited electives, advanced placement, and foreign language offerings. The use of the Internet allows small schools to provide an education that would not be

These days, internet is needed for approximately all schoolwork, including homework(“Everyone, No Matter Income Level, Should have Access to Internet.”). Internet is a crucial resource

During two decades ago, if scientists had not invented a technology, how would people’s life have been? Maybe, society will be less developing than now because technology affects almost all activities of people. Due to the advantages of technology, people’s lives enhanced more and more modernly. Nowadays, technology is developing so quickly; therefore, educators should allow the use of technology in the classroom. The internet is one of the main benefits of modern technology; the internet is a giant source of knowledge, it can increase and improve interactions between students and teachers, and the internet helps make it easy for students to learn almost anywhere.

Since the introduction of the Internet to society, we have heard all about how it negatively affects our children. How it intrudes on our privacy and preys on the innocent, how it prevents children from learning real social skills and decreases their attention span. As a mother of four, I have seen these effects up close and personal and had to find a way around them. I have to be vigilant, informed and willing to enforce rules and safety nets, even when my kids resist and complain. Yet, in spite of the risks I have seen, I also see how the Internet can be used as a tool for good. We are living in a digital world where everything we do is impacted in some way by

The first reason why the internet is not good for students is that the internet has lots of interesting things to do, and it takes many hours away from studying. In 1980s, it was almost impossible to spend many hours with the Internet. It is completely different in the 21st century. The Internet is widely used throughout the world, and the industry has massively grown. The Internet became the most interesting toy created by human. The Internet has become the necessity of life and has become our best friend. There are three most entertaining uses of the internet students likely spend their time. First, the most general use of the internet is internet surfing. By surfing the internet students can access many web sites on the internet and get knowledge they are interested in. For example, students do not need to stay in library for a whole day to do a research. With searching engines, students can easily and quickly have information what they look for. They also can shop, reserve, watch videos, or pay their bills through the Internet. It is proven that young people in North America spend considerable hours for surfing through the net. According to Nicholas Carr, an author of the book the Shallows,

Before the Internet, if we wanted to find out information on a topic, we would have to check out a book and weed through information we didn't necessarily need or want. In this modern age, information is a Google search away. If someone wants to know how the Civil War started, all they have to do is type it into the search box. This saves time and money. Another modern change is how we take classes. For years we have taken traditional classes that have worked for us, but now there is a new trend, online learning. Online courses are more cost effective, a better environment in which to learn, and more time flexible than traditional learning.

In contemporary times, the technological advancement known as the Internet, has revolutionized the way in which society is educated. This tool greatly impacts not only the field of education, but every aspect of society. Indeed, Lewin documents, “those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day” (A1), connected to the Internet. This citation illustrates the extensive amount of time today’s youth are online. To that end, the Internet is prevalent in many homes throughout the world and continues to influence the way in which people are educated both in the classroom and even while performing homework. The impact of the Internet becomes evident when one begins to examine similarities and differences between the slew of

First, the internet gives anyone the ability to emerge in or learn anything on our own. For example, you can look at the whole world with “Google Maps”, see wildlife by searching “live wildlife cam”, even go skydiving if someone uploaded a video of it. Also, the amount of learning material on the internet is crucial to students today. This shows us, the reasons why the internet has become the main place to find information. With the use of the internet people are able to ask anything without feel judged.

Children can use the Internet to research for projects and academics related information. According to Davidow (2008, p.85) the internet is a great source of information for the children of today. Therefore the internet is great form of assistance for children whose parents don’t have the time to assist them with their homework, assignment of projects. They can also use the internet to communicate with friends and family members who are not in their immediate environment. The Internet is a cheap and efficient way for children to keep in touch with loved

The Internet is a key to development. In the United States, the Internet has a positive effect on education. It has broadened the amount and kind of resources accessible for research, provided students successful techniques for collaboration (discourse boards and forums), and has allowed for social networking to become not as formal and more widespread. The internet has the potential to be an enormous force for augmentation by giving fast and inexpensive information. It has turned into an instructive means for students, expanded

The Internet has transformed the ways of communicating and learning ways of the prior years. Electronic mail, also known as “email,” has existed ever since the Internet was invented, to send messages from one computer to another. One remarkable invention was the Project Gutenberg of 1971 which is about placing books and documents in a public domain that can be accessed electronically for free. The Internet is a channel for interaction and collaboration of different individuals using the computer or any advanced technology that is being used nowadays regardless of the geographical location of an individual. According to research, the Internet was first used in the year 1969 by the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) to run on packet switching technology for the computers in Stanford and UCLA for the first time, and was later developed by different research groups.

Adults and children are moving into life that surrounds them with electronics. “In fact, 87 percent of 12 to 17-year-olds are now online” (Packard). Studies say, that children who used the internet more had higher scores on standardized reading tests from three-six months, and higher grade point averages one year and 16 months after the start of the study than did children who used it less. More time spent reading, given the heavily text-based nature of Web pages, may account for the improvement. Not all kids that use the Internet is for gaming and texting. Kids can use the electronics to read off and do studies.

Children who used the internet for more than one year got very high GPA’s than the children who used it less for the improvement of academics. Children who used internet have scored more in standardized tests of reading than the others who used it less than the six months. But when we compare the standardized test scores in mathematics internet has no effect in the achievement of solving mathematics.
