#burnsteem25|Steemit Engagement Challenge S3-W2: Impacts of Technology in kids lives by @yakspeace

Greatings to all the amazing kids and kids lovers, I'm glad to be here once again taking part in the engagement challenge contest.

Technology can be seen as a general term for processes in which human fashion tools, machines in other to increase their control and understanding of the material environment. Or it can be seen as a knowledge, method and skills which is required in other to produce equipment and tools for the human need.

It is not longer a news that technology has made a grate impact in the world, also it has done a lot in our live. Since technology came to existence things has become more easier for everyone. 20 years ago technology has changed most of the sectors in the world among which are:

Technology has made work more easier for the farmers because, the farmers are now making use of machineries and other electronic equipment for farming. Also it has made traveling more convenient for everyone. Our society now is going cashless that's because the electronic payment system are becoming available by the day, and that has enable us to transfer money from one place to another and also make payments for goods with less stress.

Technology has also played an important role by linking different countries together through globalization for example steemitblog, we interact with many people from different countries even without seeing them physically, also we communicate with our love once from different locations.

Technology has also done a lot in our health sector because, it enables the doctor and the Heath practitioner to Make research on new drugs and also fine the solution to people illness.

Technology has actually changed the way we learn things and also the way in which we think and it has touched all generation.

Technology makes learning more easier for the kids because there are a lot of material in which the kids can access online for educational and also instructional practices. Most schools are now making use of the E-libraries through which research and learning resources can be accessed with less stress.

Most kids are very curious at their early age, they want to Know eventually everything about the outer world and their parents can't actually answer all their questions so they make use of the world wide web to get solution to their problem. And that makes them independent when it's comes to learning new things.

Technology also allows kids to connect with others and their family and friends,that method do enrich their relationships most especially when they are using video calls and other methods of interaction.

Technology allows kids to get more opportunities also it enables them to learn how to multitask more accurately and effectively because, multitasking never allow them to focus only on one area but it makes them to learn how to listen and also type and other multitasking activities which will help them to succeed in life.

Technology affects the health of a child when they spent too much time browsing or playing game on the internet because most of these things causes musculoskeletal problem for them and that will relate to a sedentary lifestyle.

Technology have made most kid's to be stubborn and aggressive to their parents and teachers. Also it has make them to disengage themselves from physical activities.

Technology have exposed most children to porn video and other harmful online content

Another effect of technology for kids sleep disturbance, most kids don't sleep on time because they are making use of their mobile device and that will cause problem to their body system.

Technology has good and bad effect on children but the positive aspect of it has done a lot for the kid's most expecially when it's comes to learning new things, most children don't always have the attention of their parents at all times and sometimes even when the parents are there, they can answer all their questions for that the technology has made them to make research on their own. In this current generation, you will see a kid's with different skills and that is because of the technology. so to me I will say that the positive aspect of the technology is the best and it has done a lot of good.

Yes is very possible to have control over the exposure of kids to certain technology product, as a parent before giving your child a device, you have to check all the application on that device to know if the child will be safe using those applications or not. Also guide the child on how to use each applications probably.

This is one of the aspect most parents are lacking when it's comes to exposing their kids to technology product. Some of them buy device for their kids but they don't monitor how the kids is actually doing with the device being giving to him or her so I think it is the responsibility for the parents to always check and guide the kid's in this aspect.

In conclusion, technology is one of the amazing things that the scientist have ever created in the world, without technology lives will not be as easy as it is now because things are becoming more conducive to our test, even though it has some limitations but it's actually the best. I invite @josantos @ishachris and @pridomina to come and participate.
