Technology Ruining Our Kids Today?

Technology is always improving. But with improvement brings problems we have to face. This Problem affects our entire society today. Technology is taking over our lives by lessoning human Interaction, Ruining our health, and blocking out our surroundings.

Although society has been spoiled in many ways by technology,some may argue an apposing position. Technology comes with many conveniences, but there are also many shortcomings with it. In many ways it could actually be ruining society. The main question is when does the line become crossed between using technology as a convenience and abusing it to the point that it hinders society. The following argument will point it out.

In these modern times it is no secret that computer technology has become part of our everyday lives. Being an 18 year old kid now I still remember when I was in grade school I didnt have half of the technology these kids have now. It is almost getting out of hand what 10 year old kid needs a iphone and a smart watch. My own nephews are 3 and 4 and they wont put down there tablets ever. They go into screaming fits if you take it away from them.

Does technology in the classroom have a brutal effect on students and teachers? We have all grown up using technology for school; whether using PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, staying up-to-date with assignments using twitter, sending a photograph of your answers to a friend, or to sending a text message to your parents telling them to bring you your assignment that you, unfortunately, left at home. At one point or another I am positive most of you have done one if not all. Even if you use the technology for all the right reasons such as researching, writing papers, or finishing assignments; it may not actually be helping you learn. How do your teachers get you involved in learning? Most teachers use technology to watch a movie, see and discuss

Technology has brought us nothing more than negativity toward people. The first effect is health. technology affects individuals' exercises; so children become lazier and are most likely not motivated to work out. Along these lines, numerous health issues like obesity are brought about by the effects of technology. The second impact is communication. Ironically children don't have the chance to socialize with each other in person. They’re wasting their time using electronics instead of exploring the world and developing human nature. In addition, individuals lean toward using communication devices than collaborating in person.

I would have to say that technology is ruining children's lives. The more new things come up the more lazy we get. I would have to say that having a phone is very distracting, but I am able to stay off of it. Not many kids have grown up to be on electronics, but now every kid in the US has some type of device that distracts them from going outside. Not many people tell their kids that they need to go outside and to be active. More and more kids now a days are lazy and don’t do anything. So many kids think that they can function while on the internet, but in reality they can’t. For example, my brother thinks that he will die if he doesn’t get to play his video games. My mother only allows him to play for an hour and only if he has his homework

With a flip of a switch or press of a button, Parents can have their child entertained for hours on end. Televisions and Tablets are the twenty-first century babysitters. The average child spends an astounding 7.5 hours per day on some form of technology (Rowan 2), when the recommend allotted amount of time should be no more than two hours (Kaneshiro 1). Technology is rapidly evolving, making limitless possibilities available for entertainment. This virtual “babysitter” enables the parents to devote all their time and effort into their work or engross in technology with limited amounts of distraction from the children. Although, the parents are able to have free time, excessive amounts of screen time is proven to be detrimental to their child’s health and overall well-being. The technology that is drastically making life easier is a big blessing, but at the same time is a big curse.

Over the last few decades, the use of technology continues to develop daily, impacting the lives of many American’s in a negative matter. In society, because of advanced technology through electronic devices, bullying has increased, people lack in social skills, and it has made people lazier.

It is said technology these days is pervasive, it floods our lives and for most of us we couldn’t imagine living without it. It is being used more as an entertainment tool and an educational resource for our children. But have we stopped for a minute to think about whether this technology exposure is good or bad? Although some New Zealand organisations provide guidance, it may now be time to create and communicate a country wide view that takes into account both positive, and negative effects that technology can have.

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.

Technology has become a part of our daily lives, our entertainment and our main source of information. Every day we use some sort of device, even kids as young as one or two. But giving young children electronic devices, such as phones and tablets, can negatively affect their development as they grow.

For example, “unlike other forms of bullying, the harassment, humiliation, intimidation and threatening of others through cyberbullying occurs for twenty-four hours a day”. This proves that technology adds a whole different type of bullying called cyberbullying. Kids who witness cyberbullying feel an intense sense of isolation, fear, loneliness and despair. Their desperation can sometimes lead to acts of self-harm or tragically, even suicide. This shows that technology has a dark side. In summary, technology can create big problems such as

What is technology’s affect on children? Technology has a very complicated effect on children. For Instance, “He started getting more and more focused on his game and losing interest in baseball and reading” (5). Consequently, technology has been affecting this physically activities, most people agree technology can be a very helpful thing when it doesn’t affect children in a negative way. In the first place, “Developmental psychologist understand that children’s healthy development involves social interaction, creative imaginative play and engagement with the real, natural world” (23). As a consequence, many children using technology in a bad way won't get the natural development they need. Psychologists believe children need to develop

Throughout the years many things have changed. One of these things would include bullying. With technology comes good things and bad. One bad thing would be cyberbullying. Cellphones increase cyberbullying, many young people use technology, and it's easier to target someone through a cellphone. Cyberbullying is important to know about and how cellphones are used to do such a thing.

With all the advancements in technology taking place there has been a lot of good that has come with it. Modern medicine, automobiles, and the cell phone which allows people to connect instantly. However with all the good things that have come with technology, there have also been bad things as well. One such thing would be cyberbullying and the addiction of smartphones. Smartphones have affected adolescents in ways previously not thought possible, such as causing poor social skills, addiction, and being used to cyberbully. Adolescents must be educated about the responsibility that comes with owning a smartphone. Smartphones should not be given to kids until they reach high school, because
