Discuss the Positives and the Negatives of Fidget Cube This discussion essay will discuss the topic of the Fidget Cube by presenting both the positive and the negative sides of this issue. Since it has been the twenty-first century, technologies are developing all the time. Because of that, the pressure of working is increasing as well. So some companies produce a toy called the Fidget Cube. It is a very useful object to release the pressure in the daily life. If teenagers are in the sense of over fatigue, they can just try to press the button on it. Also, it is good to make teenagers concentrate on their work, and it can help them change a lot of bad habits they used to have. But there are two disadvantages likewise. The first one is that the price is too steep. The second one is that the sound of pressing this may disturb others who are very close to them who are playing this toy. Firstly, this little thing is truly a good way to release teenagers’ pressure. For me, I also have the small cube like this. I remembered that it was the mid-term in grade 8. At that time, I did not do really do well in this test. I felt so sad about it. When the grade was established, I was upset because I had guesses that my grade won’t be high. So I took out this little toy, the Fidget Cube, to relax. I pressed the button a lot, and …show more content…
Making people’s mind more focused on their thing and changing their bad habits are the positive ones and the negative ones are that it is too expensive and maybe will disturb others. So this essay has discussed the topic of the Fidget Cube by presenting both the positive and the negative sides of this issue. For the Fidget Cube, the positive part may have a bigger proportion. Just for the reason that it may change the bad habits a lot of people now have and release your emotion better as well. It is a great process. Therefore, it has more positive things than negative
This quote derived from Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld's “The Influencing Machines”, voices the anxiety that other people feel when being introduced to new products and how they could destroy society overtime. It gives us insight as to what trends are helping the people vs. the one’s that aren’t. Take the fidget spinner, this product was created for kids with ADHD as a means to alleviate stress and help them stay still, but as its popularity increased so did its use with children who do not have ADHD. The use of it in schools has led it to being banned in some states such as: Florida, Illinois, New York and Virginia. This quote suggests that society will concede to outside influences and will be utterly lost to the point where they are
I have chosen to do an essay on “ Fidget Spinners: What They Are, How They Work and Why the Controversy.” I have chosen this article because fidget spinners are a huge thing right now; also, I believe this is included in the science category because it talks about kids with mental disabilities using them.
‘Only nurses with relevant knowledge, competence, skills and experience in nursing children should prescribe for children. This is particularly important in primary care (e.g. out of hours, walk-in clinics and general practice settings). Any one prescribing for a child in these situations must be able to demonstrate competence in prescribing for children and refer to another prescriber when working outside their level of expertise or level of competence.’ The Nursing and Midwifery Council standards of proficiency for nurse and midwife prescribers’ (NMC, 2006)
The purpose of this task is to individually design an educational activity based around technical influences. The activity implemented must be appropriate for a junior primary child. The preparation of the task needs to be considered along side whether the health and well-being of children is enhanced by use of technology. Technology has a significant impact on our society through the usage of technical devices incorporated into one’s regular routine. Each individual has 45 minutes to form a final product with a child while teaching them safety awareness factors.
As day progresses so as technology. In the modern society high technology devices have become indispensable to human. Electronic machines have gradually been starting to replace human work. At a factory work place, restaurant kitchen, and household laundry rooms, the improvement of technology can be seen anywhere. Mobile phone, which has only become prevalent in a few decades, can be found in anyone’s jeans pocket. However, is this situation an evolution to a new era or an over-reliance on technology. Sherry Turkle, the author of “The Empathy Diaries” expresses her concern on modern generation overusing electronic devices. She points out her main argument that the situation has deteriorated to the extend where children are losing their empathy and ability to social. Turkle, promoting the importance of conversation, not only criticize young generations for being overly obsess with electronic devices, but also oppose the ones who understand the the significance of conversation for not passing down the knowledge. It is clear that in Turkle’s perspective the improvement of technology has brought up issues that do not exist ever before. Despite that the benefit form electronic devices are inevitable the problems it brings about can never be look down. On the condition that people do not have enough self-control to overcome with the tempt form high technology devices can not only bring human short term benefits but lifetime long harm with its overly thoughtful benefits.
One of the main problems that appears in the Veldt is the children’s’ addiction to technology. This can have very negative effects.
Despite the growing popularity of fidget spinners, this reflection is on what I have been reading in Peter Walters and John Byl’s
Electronic devices are consuming the lives of everyday people. Everywhere you look someone will be locked in staring at their phone screen, unaware of what’s happening around him or her. Electronic devices have become a daily necessity for people. Electronic devices are a controversial topic today. While some believe that electronic devices are harmful, others believe these devices benefit society. In, “A Thing Like Me,” Nicholas Carr brings up the extent on which humans depend on devices. The dependence on electronic devices has consequences. The consequences that come from electronic devices are in takes away from face to face communication, the devices cause distractions when driving which can lead to serious injuries or even death. Electronic devices also have changed the way of learning, people no longer feel the need to learn when typing a question into Google gives people the answer. Electronic devices are a part of society and can cause negative impacts in peoples lives everyday. People do not realize the consequences that electronic devices bring into their
What is the main focus of the article? The article “Playing with Technology: Is it All Bad?” focuses on how technology plays a really big role in the way children of all ages play now. It also talks about how children want access to technology, so we as parents and teachers need to figure out the best ways to offer it to them. They also discuss that because computers and technology are so popular with children as young as three years old their games should be more problem solving oriented and open minded. So they offer the children more choices and opportunities to explore and use their inquisitiveness. The article also talks about the fact that the research has shown that digital media can be more effective than traditional methods of teaching cognitive skills. Because well-designed digital games can provide fun and interactive experiences that can help young children's learning, cognitive development, skill building,
How to minimize the hurts of non-white children once their belief on the theory of a society is fair and equality is completely collapsed when the reality is happening in the opposite. In the reading “Why the Myth of Meritocracy Hurts Kids of Color” Mildred Boveda, an assistant education professor at Arizona State University, said: “I will admit that it sometimes felt risky to tackle these difficult conversations, but this [research] underscores why we cannot equivocate when it comes to preparing our children to face injustices.” I agree with her opinion. Because finding the proper solutions to fully empower and equipping the best knowledge that can help children cope better is not easy, but it is the responsibility of the family, the school, and society. The three elements need to act and work together in an effort to dare to speak about the truths mentioned above.
At Camp Gray, I experienced many forms of science. Whether it was from the nature around me, or the weather that kept us indoors, science was everywhere at Camp Gray. But specifically, I’m going to focus on gravity. Gravity is invisible force that occurs between two objects, it’s what keeps us on the ground. The reason why we stay on the ground is because the gravitational pull towards Earth’s center. At Camp Gray, we all were affected by gravity in the activities we did and many more
In the world there are many different and developing types of technology that can offer many benefits, but at the same time cause many problems. Technology comes in many shapes and sizes and does many different things. Whether it’s a house that can do everything for its inhabitants , or a device that can make the paralyzed walk again, society is moving forward in the world of technology although it may be controversial.
As our innovative world is rapidly moving into the future, technology is being invented and innovated at every turn. This technology ranges from top-notch video game systems to microscopic robots made to perform internal surgery. Although these impressive technological improvements were recently made, they are not entirely beneficial because this technology damages our social and learning skills, while also damaging us as humans.
Technology has always changed world’s face and in one view makes the life easier for humans. In these few decades, technology has a lot of progress and now more than before people live in an electronic jungle. The human’s nature is a powerful engine for people to look for more shortcuts in the life. As the society depends on technology more and more to find an answer for humans’ problem, the ability of thinking for themselves among people reduces. Kids influence by technology’s effect more than adults. Higher technology tools change the structure of children thinking and also cause children cannot use their minds for solving problems.
In today’s society, modern technology is evidently developing rapidly and it is portrayed as a negative impact. It can be seen that technology is a substitution of all characteristics of life. The purpose of every technological invention is to benefit the lives of mankind; thus re-enforcing the positive connotation of technology. However, in long term it may not be beneficial; such as, education, work and leisure are all becoming dependent on technology; cyberspace is dangerous and child obesity is increasing.
