Technology On Children

Even though some people believe technology makes children slower, lazier and antisocial, modern technology can affect our children in a positive way because it is good for the developing brain of a child it keeps our kids aware of social change and the media, and it makes learning easier.

Modern technology has penetrated every aspect of our lives and made great impacts on our daily activities, especially in the area of education. The continuous infusion of technology in education has become an unchangeable tendency. Given the increased use of technology in education, much research has been done on the value of technology in education. However, none of the studies have answered all of the questions that are essential to determining whether continuous infusion of new technologies in education can improve the quality of education. Since a clear answer to this question is vital to help educational organizations to make decisions on how much

to select and responsibly use technology” (Blake). The use of technology is on the rise and it is

In an ever changing society with rapid technology growth, technology could be viewed in many ways. For many, they strongly believe that technology has many educated purposes as students have unlimited access to anything ever created, said or done. Whereas others believe that the amount of technology that is being given to the students aren't benefiting them at all, in fact, technology is creating more problems, which could jeopardize the students future. Before schools should consider becoming an all technology atmosphere, schools need to acknowledge the negative aspects that technology can bring to the table, this would entail the lack of imagination, short attention span and the inability to develop a set of skills due to the widespread

Technology allows for an alternative way for our children to learn and its becoming more popular each year. Teachers are now replacing text books with tablets and laptops. The kids of today’s society are getting pulled into the virtual world while they are slowly drifting away from the real world.

In today’s world, there is no uncertainty that technology has grown to be a part of our daily life. Although everyone’s opinion is different, some may say it is positively impacting education while others say its negatively impacting education. According to the articles “Texting and Writing” by Michaela Cullington and “Wikipedia: Write First, Ask Questions Later” by Dennis Baron, appear to believe that technology is negatively affecting education. Technology can negatively impact one’s education by the ability to use proper grammar, inhibiting writing skills, and just being plain out lazy.

As our world becomes increasingly globalized and reliant on new and innovative technologies, it is no wonder that technology is making its way into classrooms both across the nation and the world. When I was secondary school, we used technology every so often to complete various assignments, with many of my classes often taking a trip to the computer labs in my school. However, much of our everyday class work was still done the “traditional” way—that is, using a pen and paper—and once again the use of technology when I was in school was essentially reserved for assignments such as papers or projects. This is why, when I entered my corresponding school for the first time, I was rather taken aback by how much the use of technology has increased. Despite graduating a few years ago, the dynamics of some schools and classrooms around the world have drastically changed within the past few years, for there has been a huge technology initiative that many schools are attempting to embrace. In most cases, this push to incorporate devices such as iPads and laptops in every single course every single day, and students often receive school-issued devices to use both in the classroom and at home to complete their schoolwork.

In today’s world Technology is everywhere. We use computers for almost everything in everyday life, including “babysitting” our children. Computers can have both positive and negative effects on children, while some of the negative effects on health and development are unseen. As adults, we understand the physical world around us and the concepts inside computer programs. Children, on the other hand, need to learn this with traditional play and outdoor activities. Adults, over about 30, know the world without computers. Our younger generations are starting to use computers at very a young age. They are maturing in a world of instant answers and satisfaction.

As humans have grown in the recent decades, advancements in technology have rapidly improved, and our dependency and need of it has also increased, whether for good and bad. As these changes have occurred throughout the years, a new generation is born, one that has been exposed to these new advancements since birth, and the effects it is causing on developing children is something we have noticed, as this is the first generation to experience these changes. Through anthropology, psychology and sociology, the impact of technology on developing children is causing a negative, and destructive force on the minds, bodies, and characters of the future generation. Using these three disciplines, we can analyze, interpret and make conclusions on the impact of technology on children, and why these effects are changing humans today.

Jon Harper, a Georgetown University graduate and famous politician, once said, “We must slow down and remember that sometimes technology may be needed simply to support our kids' passions, not replace them.” Technology advances faster than anyone could have ever expected. Schools implement technology devices to replace books and paper that was once used. Though technology can help students find information fast and easy, it does not out weigh the negative aspect of essentially brain washing them. By creating an easy to use device in schools, it can create distraction and misuse of the items. Though learning advantages exist, before fully implementing technology into schools, facilitators need to evaluate the factors of negative efficiency, child development, and future impacts.

Tears spill over the crystal clear blue eyes of the blond little boy. Screaming at the top of his lungs, he shakes the dead iPad as if his life depends on playing Super Mario Run. Like this little boy, many children today are extremely familiar with and even dependent on technology. In the 1980s, children may have had Nintendo Entertainment Systems and Gameboys, but that does not compare to the smartphones, tablets, and game devices that exist today. Children, people under the age of eighteen, who grew up in the 80s had to suffice with playing with action figures or participating in activities such as board games, tag, and hopscotch. Although kids obviously still do these things today, technology has become a huge part of many of their lives. According to one magazine, 75% of children under the age eight use mobile devices (Fast Company). Technology can be beneficial when used for education; however, if not monitored by parents, children can become addicted. Children’s play has greatly shifted towards technology, and it can negatively affect their mental and physical health.

At a very young age, children are introduced to technology. Many parents set their children down to watch a television show to keep them quiet or to catch a few more minutes of sleep. There are many children who have the latest cell phone or tablet that their parents can barely afford. Now schools have increasingly started to integrate technology-related gadgets and activities into the children’s studies. Many schools even issue school tablets or laptops to students at the beginning year to be returned at the end. Agarwal and Kar say, “Focus is more on use of technologies to provide knowledge and it is possible in near future that education will become paperless” (2015, p. 172). However, children’s brains are not developed well enough to understand the strong urge to become hooked on the technology (Agarwal & Kar, 2015). When children are given such advanced technology, letting them completely become enveloped, it is like re-wiring their brain. They become so involved, most do not turn back and stay isolated, to themselves in the internet, social media, and whatever else they come across.

In modern society, technology is growing and advancing fast, but as technology expands, it brings problems with it.

Society is constantly changing, and many of these changes are good, but some are less than desirable. The use of technology and social media has drastically improved communication abilities, but it has also had negative impacts, especially on high school students. Teenagers are very focused on their online personalities, and this is leading to them having less interest in other activities. Working hard no longer seems necessary because so many things are available without working at all because of the development of technology. Students are also less inclined to work hard at their academics, and college attendance rates are falling. Putting in the effort to improve career options in the future is less appealing than the instant gratification of going straight into the workforce. This is a problem because having a college degree directly correlates to a higher salary. The decline of work ethic in high school students has led to fewer students participating in activities and going to college.

Technology is very important way in the life. All people can use it even children and students at schools to do their project. There are different ways to learn by using technology. Students are very excited to teach them by modern technology also some people use it for entertainment. Now days all people use it in their jobs and business.
