Kids Are Move Asked In What's On The Small Screen Summary

Modern Technology is good for the developing brain of a child.When using any modern technology like Ipad, Iphone, Ipod, laptop computer anything, when using these amazing their brains are constantly being used. Each icon they click each word they read each picture or color they see is all recorded in their brains. When a child is on a application, that child zooms in on the activity which causes a chain reaction to the brain keeping the brain active, and exercising. “The impact of heavy media and technology use on kids are social, emotional and cognitive development is only beginning to be studied, and the emergent results are serious.” This quote proves of my statement because it says that a child’s emotional and cognitive development are being affected by technology. There are a lot of brain exercises on the internet. Just for a kid going on the computer and seeing screen light up and reading the words to guide them to a activity is exercising because you’re using your brain to use the computer, and reading the word google or yahoo or even the startup menu.”Children now rely on technology for the majority of their play, grossly limiting challenges to their creativity and imaginations,

While I understand the points given by both writers, I personally believe that screen time on today's technologies is a great resource that we should always take advantage of. It is very true that a lot of time is wasted on our phones and other media devices, but if we can learn to not be completely dependent on technology and use it as a tool then it can advance the human race far beyond our imagination. If a child has an issue with health or maturing issues, it makes sense for the parent or gaurdian to set restraints, but placing an all-out limit on such powerful tools can prevent your child from getting the education that is now available to him or her.

“His inability to communicate with me, his own mother makes me sad. I think if I can’t control him right now, I may loose my son. “ This quote is from a mother who has a computer-addicted son, made me somber because I realized how damaging and destructive electronics are to the most important relationships. The son wasn’t appreciative of his mother’s meal and continued on being glued to his computer screen. Another quote spoken by the man was “Kids are spending more than 50 hours a week on social media, that’s more than a full work week.” This statement shocked me because it means that they spend an upwards of 7 hours a day on their devices, decreasing the amount of time to socialize (in person) with their peers. Children are missing out on their social development and the opportunity to participate in other activities. Another insane point made is that young children are self taught on the ways and hacks of technology. I can relate because my younger cousins who are four to six years old have already been exposed to recording videos and playing on apps. Introducing devices to children at such a young age can be destructive to them later on in life. It will create dependency and addiction issues as they grow up, for example extreme anxiety. This is similar to points in Alone Together because of the issue of anxious feelings and dependency towards your phone.

Technology has been part of our daily live more frequently than before. Screen time has been more popularly used on kids and adolescents. On a daily bases many kids seem to spend more time inside on their tablets, instead of having to spend time with other kids. This is a problem that is becoming more popular over the years,on whether kids need to spend that much time on technology or not. Parents either seem to have strict technology usage, or they either don’t. There has always been a huge controversy with experts, who either think that screen time is beneficial or could cause problems later on in life. There are many views towards this topic, from hurting kids brains, to helping them during school, and socially.

Now, many of us may know a parent that hands their child a tablet or phone to keep their child busy so they can do their own work. Well, this has a very negative consequence on the child because just like alcohol, drugs, and gambling, items such as electronic devices that may seem harmless at first, can actually be very obsessive. These devices are so chronic and habitual that you tend to get isolated from the real world, and since you aren’t managing to do any physical exercise or movement, this could possibly result as a physical handicap. Parents don’t realize this is an issue until their child faces actual circumstances. Technology does not only have negatively influenced physical effects, but it also has a psychological impact. The overuse of electronic devices may cause impairment in the development of a child’s social skills. This includes the ability of to make friends, talking to others in a respectful and polite manner, displaying good behavior, and controlling temper and emotions. A child who uses technology extensively can become socially isolated which can lead to many other things such as loneliness, low self-esteem and low self-worth, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. In every child’s life, their childhood is the most crucial part of their _________ journey. It's that time of life where whatever a child learns, that learning will continue on and affect their on-going future. The negative things will misguide them from a very young age, and same goes for these children that use technology

The purpose of the research article from the scholarly journal Childhood Education (2014) is to discuss the arguments currently surrounding the topic of media, technology, and screen time (MeTS) and its use with young children, and create an international dialogue on what steps should be taken in the future on how to responsibly use MeTS in a way that is productive and developmentally appropriate. The authors first discuss what global issues currently stand referring to MeTS, citing statistics of television, video game, and computer exposure among young children (children younger than 6). It is described that in the United States alone, “83% of children under 6 years old use…two hours with a television and DVD player, 1 hour with video

Every day, the Generation Z/Boomlets, those born after 2001, are starting to interact more and more with technological devices. This can cause very serious consequences and it can affect their development, such as irregular sleeping pattern, lack empathy, social and language skills and health issues. The Common Sense organization did some research and discovered that 10 percent of one year olds have used a technology device. They also found out that 38 percent of children between two and four years old have used mobile devices like iPhone, tablets or Kindles and more than fifty percent between ages five to eight years old also use mobile devices. How can kids have this much access to technological devices at such a young age? I remember I didn’t have my first phone until the ninth grade and it was a flip phone; I received my first iPhone in my senior year of high school. Kids these days are growing up too fast and interacting more and more early with technology and besides affecting their development, this will come back to affect our future.

I feel that this is a relevant issue in this society. Most teens like me are born in a society that is used to electronic devices. Kids that are younger than me are definitely given some sort of device sice they are young. I think some teens are too adicted to their phone. As I read through the article, I noteced the article is dedicated to the fact that teens spend too much time on their phone. I agree with that, but I also think being accicted to a phone is normal. There is a quote in the article by the digital detox expert Holland Hails saying, "Technological addiction can happen to anyone," in her book, she even discribed technology as, "the new 21st century addiction." I strongly agree with these quotes indicating that an technological

Technology is not the reason for childhood being ruined. Modern technology is said to be ruining children’s lives by many professionals. Many professionals have done studies to figure out the truth, only to find out that it is not the technology. Although modern technology may be harmful to children, modern technology is also helping children develop faster, because it enhances social interaction skills, cognitive development and improves concentration.

Children should limit their time on media screens, for example in passage 1, it says children in the united states have an average of 7.5 hours of screen time per day. I understand that electronics such as ipads, cell phones or computers are entertaining, but as young children should'nt surround their themselves around that much screen time, they are basically throwing all of their youth away. My opinion kids need to be kids, and play outside with their friends, interact, and play with their toys.

Many studies explain the negative impact that extended "screen time" has on children, such as the light from screens distrupting sleep, little mental energy, and depression from viewing before bed. The fact that children spend an average of 7.5 hours of their day staring at a screen, at school, at home, just sitting is not healthy. Many people will argue that most of what they are watching, doing while on their devices is "educational" is not true, I see children every day and they are not doing anything even remotely good for their brains; they sit around playing video games, scrolling social media, watching tv shows and movies that have no teaching points.

"this generation of American kids (ages 3 to 18) is the tech-savviest in history: 27% of them use tablets, 43% use smartphones, and 52% use laptops." This shows that is quite an important subject and it is worth acknowledging. Then he also mentions how the country is also contributing to this issue by starting, "the most tech-saturated school year ever: Los Angeles County alone will spend $30 million on classroom iPads this year, outfitting 640,000 kids by late 2014." Yet only half of the parents in the USA agree that there should be such a prominence of technology in kids' lives, according to findings by, "the research firm Grunwald Associates." As you can notice, we are only though the first couple of paragraphs, yet we have passed through a number of statistics and studies. Then he shifts his concentration to the Parental Adage, "The less time spent with screens, the better." He tries to explain why parents support such a rule and apply it to their kids' lives. He represents some side effects of extensive tech use, such as, "watching too much TV can lead to obesity, violence and attention-deficit/hyperactivity

A professor named Manfred Spitzer said giving a small child a device is almost like a criminal act. To combat this technology must be used in moderation to have balance as this will allow young children to develop skills to the ever growing digital world. It can be used for educational purposes but it has to be used in the right way. One method is to only allow children under the age of two to be exposed for no more than two hours a day as too much exposure limits brain growth as the age between the day of birth to three can affect brain

Children spending children spending extended period of time using their smart device preventing them from playing outside to experience new thing and make new friends every day. According a Kaiser Foundation study conducted in 2010, children between the ages of eight and 18 spend an average of 7 hours 38 minutes a day with digital media. This study shows that children are abusing the use of technology, instead of spending this enormous number of hours doing something that will benefit them. Some others say that advanced technology is benefiting the children by making them learn faster and making them smarter, but it’s actually the complete opposite
