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

Technological developments in the years after the 2000s cannot be prevented, day after day, time after time and year after year technological developments continue to develop rapidly. It is natural that technology has developed.

However, every technological development has an impact, both positive and negative. It is needed from us for how to adapt technological developments in everyday life. As long as technological developments don't mislead us users. If we know and can adapt to technological developments, then we have great benefits.

On this occasion I try to describe the development of technology in children's lives and this is a Challenge held by @steemkidss. The rules for the challenge can be seen here Steemit Engagement Challenge S3-W2: Impact of Technology in kids lives. Well I will discuss one by one the challenge points.

Write an overview of how technology has impacted the world as a whole

Technological progress cannot be dammed at this time, because technology is like the staple food consumed by a person every day, if that person does not consume food, there will be starvation, eventually the person cannot survive.

Likewise with technological advances, today everyone, be it parents or technology children, has become a staple food intake. But most people are wrong in using technological developments. Even though the first technology was created for positive things, now it is becoming a negative thing.

The impact of technology on humans is to facilitate communication between individuals, who used to say hello to someone had to send a letter and it took several days for the letter to arrive at the intended person. At this time to say hello only takes 1 second and the message reaches the intended person.

Another impact obtained from technological developments is to help educate children so they don't miss out on information. Technological developments are also an easier and faster medium. To apply for a job, it is enough to send an application online and learning at the place of education can be done online without having to do it face-to-face.

Share with us some of the positivity and negativity of technology in kids' lives

For the positive and negative things that arise from technology for children's lives are diverse. Parental control is needed so that technological developments can be applied by children as a positive thing. If parents do not control the development of technology, it is possible that technological developments can be negative for children. Especially during the pandemic, children cannot do face-to-face learning and are required to study online.

The following are the positive impacts that can be obtained by children from technological developments, including:

• Children will not miss any information
• Mobile phones or gadgets can be a medium of learning for children, by learning to count and learning to read
• It's easy for children to get knowledge, by just doing a search on the internet
• Children can watch educational films both on television and on mobile phones

While the negative impacts for children include:

• Internet can be negative if not controlled by parents
• With the convenience of the internet, children can access pornographic content
• If children use cellphones for too long, it will affect their eyesight
• Children will be lazy if they are addicted to cellphones

How would you rate the impact of technology in kids' life? Highly positive or negative?

The impact of technology in children's lives depends on the role of parents. If parents are negligent in controlling, the impact of technology will have a negative impact, and if parents are right and always supervise it will have a positive impact.

The positive impact obtained from technology is that it can expand children's interactions with other children and can exchange information. Television and the internet can be a learning and entertainment for children by watching cartoons that educate them and can build children's creativity and can provide broad insight.

Meanwhile, the negative impact of technology is that it causes children to be lazy to learn because they are addicted to cellphones. Children who are addicted to cellphones will forget to study and have fun with cellphones or television. Moreover, there are many videos showing acts of violence and the fear of children committing violence against other children.

Another negative side will affect eye health, because television and cellphones have high radiation. The longer children watch, the more harmful the effect on eye health will be.

Can you have control over the exposure of kids to certain technological products? How?

I have a child who is over 3 years old. My children are children who like television and cellphone technology as well as other children. Usually I just give my cellphone or turn on the television when I do work at home and so with her mother.

I don't necessarily give my cell phone to my child. When I give my cellphone, I first download an educational video that is on YouTube and turn off the internet network, as well as when I watch television I first select the spectacle that he will watch.

So that my son doesn't have to be constantly with his cellphone and television, I bought him a toy. Whether it's buying cars or other toys. Usually I accompany him to play with the toys he has and make my child feel at home with the toys.

And if I have sustenance, I will add new toys so he doesn't get bored with the toys he has. I only allow him to watch television and cellphones when he is bored with toys and of course I still control what he does.

Here I invite several other steemians to join this contest, because the theme raised is very interesting related to the impact of technology in children's lives. Please participate participate @ayijufridar, @zainalbakri, @husaini, @afrizalbinalka, @alol, @amre, @jufrimj, @irawandedy, @klen.civil, @amri and others.
