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

Technology

---

Technology is the need of everyone in the recent era. Technology makes our life easy the past. The most important and great inventions of technology are mobile phones, tablets, laptops, cars, airplanes, and many more. Technology had changed our lifestyle completely and we rely on it that we can't survive without it for a minute.

The mobile phone is a great invention as we can call our loved one easily than past. In past, we use letters or people who took your message to other people and traveled for months or days. Then they again take your reply after a long time. But now we can do it in seconds and if we now our family needs us we can travel in a few hours or even minutes.

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

Technology has made great inventions but as we know there are also positive and negative effects of everything in our life. Technology has made kids' life easy than before so, its positive effects.

But somehow they have negative effects that make kids' life difficult and they become depressed or angry. Due to consecutive use of technology especially mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and TV.

The most positive part of technology in kids' life is they can learn new things each day and broaden their knowledge. They can get useful information through different websites for their assignments or presentations.

Parents should check their kid's activities on the internet through browser history and keep aware of their activities either they learning through technological products or ruining their lives.

If they consecutively use mobile phones or other appliances they become addicted to them and didn't leave them for a minute. It's had a bad effect on their health, especially on their eyes sides.

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

If I rate the impact of technology on kids it would be 9/10 or approx 10. Excess use of everything has bad effects on physical as well as mental health.

Positive Effects

• Technology has made many advancements in the recent era which makes kids' life much easier. The best use of technology in kids' life is they get knowledge on a wider level.

• If they need any information about different topics they can search on the internet and get different information. Through this, they can learn to distinguish between accurate and inaccurate information about their research articles.

• There are many YouTube channels in which they have shared skills for kids. So, kids learn different and unique skills through the use of the internet and technology.

• Kids become connected to their family and friends through mobile phones all the time if they are far from them. They can call them anytime whenever kids need their family.

• Through the use of technology kids learn to express their point of view with freedom. They can share their thoughts, and their perspectives, and build their confidence.

• With technology kids learn to organize things. They can set timetables to do their work. Through this kids learn time management.

Negative Effects

If technology has positive effects then it also has negative effects. But it's up to us whether we can use them in a better way or a bad way.

• The worst effect of technology is that everyone has access to it including kids as well. It's so addictive that kids can't live without them.

• Due to using technology kids become stubborn, angry, and less obedient to their parents. Consecutive use it makes kids angry and stubborn.

• Due to technology, there will become less or even bonding between kids and parents. Because parents have no time for kids due to their busy schedules so, they busy them on the internet. At last, they don't care if their parents didn't spend time with them.

• In this era, everyone tries to get more money and in that race, they get time to spend with family. Due to this kids adopted bad companies and adopted bad habits as well.

• Due to the increased use of mobile technologies kids have not developed social skills, which makes children shy, less confident, and uncomfortable at parties or events.

• Due to excess use of technology, kids learning skills become less or even zero. They didn't use their brains to solve problems and rely on the internet for problem-solving. This can lead to poor brain health and reduce their focus.

• Excess use of technology leads to disturbed mental health as well as physical health. It affects their sleep cycle, immune system as well as weak eyes sides.

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

Yes, we can control the exposure of kids to technological products. I have 2 nephews who are also addicted to YouTube channels and different video games. So, their parents were also worried about how to keep them away from mobile usage.

Then I give them the idea to involve them in more physical activities rather than any other thing. They bought toys for them and learning books that involves them. Now they prefer to play with friends rather than use mobile phones all the time.

I think parents need to pay attention to their kids that they get attached to them more than any technological products. Take them on trips, and parks and involve them in creative things. Teach them to do physical activities and brainstorming activities.

This was all about from my side. I hope you pay attention to your kids rather than remain busy in your life. I invite my friends @aaliarubab, @marlyncabrera, @deepak94, and @olabillions.
