Is your Mom or Dad a screen Addict Emily Ghan 8\31\2016 My mom can be on her phone a lot but, she tries to regulate her time on it. She gets home at five and she’ll hang out with me and my brothers. When she gets a text or a call she will go outside and answer it. She’s a lawyer and sometimes her clients call and she needs to answer them. She watches the giants baseball game whenever it's on but, overall i think she is not a sceen addict.
Imagine a teenage boy in his last year of high school being stressed out at school from too much homework and an important test coming in a few weeks. He’s been studying for months and can’t stop from being stressed from the test that will determine his future. He comes home and pulls out his tablet. This screen time allows him to calm himself from the stress at school. Who would deny the teen some time to calm down? I believe that teenagers should not have to limit their screen time because it allows for relaxation, amusement, and socialization.
In Matt Ritchel’s article “Grow Up Digital, Wired for Distraction” displays that technology and media is making problems for teens as far homework goes, because not all teens review the choices they have so they get distracted and it goes downhill from there not getting their work done or not paying attention to what they’re doing not getting their work done or not paying attention to what they’re doing. The first point the author makes is that teens have always faced distractions and time-wasters, but the new technology has posed a new threat to learning and focusing, and adult brains can have consequences as well but there brains are already developed enough to not be as powerful to them. In the text the author quotes Michael Rich saying,
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, many Millenials were creating childhood memories from a popular form of entertainment: Disney Channel Original Movies. For them, a sense of nostalgia may elicit a connection between one of those movies, LeVar Burton’s Smart House, and Ray Bradbury’s short story “The Veldt.” Labeled as science fiction, both of these works share the common theme of a dependence on technology, as illustrated by the lives of the Hadley and Cooper families. In particular, these cautionary tales convey to the audience the consequences of too many advancements: severed relationships within families, a lack of responsibility, and a new, irreversible way of life.
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep beep beep! Many of Earths top scientists believe that teens need less phone time. And I agree.There is research to support that teens spend too much time on their tech. One way to get less screen time is with screen free days. And with all the health benefits, screen free days are the future!
With kids picking up mobile devices at an increasingly younger age. Parents are setting bad home habits that their kids may follow. It is not good for younger kids to be picking up mobile devices at that age. Kids said they had to compete with technology.
Do you think that screen time should be limited.If not this paper will tell you some of the harmful things screen time can do to you.
My mom and dad are not attracted to their phones. For example they are only on their phone if they got a phone call, calling someone or texting. Some reasons that support my answer is that they give eye contact at the dinner table or talk to us about our day. Also when they're at a game watching T.V. or outside there not on there phone.
I agree with children and their screen time becasue every year the electronics devices improves and helps children in ways even parents couldn't.
the positive aspects of the tech industries influence on children's childhood. Dockterman's purpose is to try to compare and contrast the positive and negative aspects of tech influence in early life, as well as to in part persuade the reader that the influence is not as diabolical as some would believe. She adopts a analytical tone in order to imply a more logistical outlook on her topic, perhaps to influence the reader that she has more facts then whomever would oppose her.
Screen time for children is helpful and it also can be harmful. Screen time could hurt the children's developmental skills if watched for long periods of time. As said in the first passage if watched for an average of 7.5 hours per day it can cause kids to zone out and confuse their body clocks. Screen time can aslo disrupt sleep and possibly cause depression as well as obesity. Childred should have a balance of screen play. In the second passage it shows that Researchers found that when kids watched television with parents, it reduced anger and fear and increased learning. The second passage also states that visual learners gain far more from watching an education video of a process than they would just reading about it. From my opinion,
Well, I am not saying my parents are bad parents, but I do think my parents spend a little too much time on their devices.
When it comes to how much personal screen time I use throughout the day, the time varies between 8 to 10 hours per day. Doing some research, if I don't make a change I can develop dry eye syndrome. Being that I'm taking a six classes total, three of them online, it's merely impossible to veer away from the computer screen. Moreover, my physicality has deterred and I'm starting to have concise aces towards my lower body. Also I feel that my creativity has been slightly demolished, and I'm subconsciously turning into this robotic figure. With this noticeably haggard look on my face, I totally understand that this amount of screen time is healthy for me physically and mentally.
How do we know when it is time to call quits? Headaches, obesity, sleep deprivation, and more. These are just some of the many symptoms/effects of too much screen time. Imagine: Alone in the dark, the child sits. Doors locked, lights off, the parents are nowhere to be found. Out comes the ipad, swiped from the technology cabinet locked during night hours. The child broke the lock with the anger of separation from his device filling his eyes. Eyes glued, the child logs on. Tick, tick, tick. Each tick of the clock representing another mistake. This is becoming more and more common amongst this time period. Technology enhancements force the minds of these generations to act in such an uncontrollable manner. What kind of sick fantasy is this? Eyes are glued to screens all day. All.
We have all been there- the fourth hour of non-stop “screen time,”. Most the washed away hours consists of loosing yourself in another world, or accomplishing a specific operation. But just like fast food, or alcohol, why should “screen time” be limited? After absorbing multiple resources the people have come to the conclusion, “screen time” should not be capped, understanding the ideas of lesson learning, beneficial apps, and social networks, and the fact that this is the twenty first century, should all aid you to the reasons of my beliefs.
October 13, 2015 my group class and I went to Galleria to observe the people. After watching several families I came to the conclusion that technology is affecting families, during the observation families were more on their cell phones stead of having a conversation with their families. The family look as if they were stranger. They look with a very serious look. They did not take the time to have a conversation. One of the kid was in his phone most of the time when he was with his family. I was surprise because the parents did not said anything not even the parents took time to ask or said anything. The table was in silent they just were looking around.
