Steemit Engagement Challenge S3-W2: Impacts of Technology in kids lives by @b-naj

Greetings to all in this great community, i hope everyone fairing alright throughout this week's challenge. I am here with my entry to this week's challenge. You can find the link to this challenge here.

Technology as a whole has greatly influenced our society (be it in a good or bad way), and this depends solely on the purpose of its application at each point in time. The good effect of technological inventions are seen everywhere today, so much that its users forget to analyze its disadvantages and regulate it to its minimal impact. Every invention today has both the good and bad impacts on our society, and this is inevitable. What our society can do to help one another is to pin point these disadvantages and do our bit to bring them to a minimal. We all can collectively agree that technology now plays a massive role in our lives, and as such we can't do without. Our overall reliability rate on technology has increased over the years to a point wherein, we now experience it at every aspect of life.
Technology has greatly led to great development today!

Education:

The introduction of technology has greatly improved kids' exposure to research and information. Today, many kids can learn from home via online classes, and can carry out research by themselves while working on assignments. This has greatly played a big role during the covid-19 outbreak period for instance.

Entertainment:

Nowadays, it is quite difficult to keep up with the juvenile nature of kids always. As such, technology and its associated entertainments has greatly reduced the unnecessary boredom that creeps in daily. It helps keeps the kids grounded and safe indoors for a durable period while you attend to other stuff.

Parental Control Safety:

There is no perfect guarantee of safety with kids on technological appliances especially as they interact on the internet with other users. Some contents can be too explicit for their liking or age, and this can affect/influence them negatively.

Addictiveness:

Some kids get too glued to technological devices and this affects them negatively. Some effects of this could be loss of proper sleep, or lack of measurable socialization time with the real world.

This question is not as difficult to answer as one would think. Like i said earlier during the brief introductory, ***the pros and cons of technology depends solely on the purpose of its application at each point in time. As such, i can confidently say that the classification/rating of technology solely depends on the purpose of the applicant. We as humans tend to abuse the good intent of technological inventions by equipping it to harm and cheat others.
Technology in kids' lives weighs more to the positive side than the negative, especially when kept in check by adult supervision.

Yes i can. Here is how i'll perfect this control process:

• Schedule hours during which kids can use technological devices. This should help reduce the adverse effects of spending too much time with technological appliances.

• Spending time with technological devices would be used as a means of rewarding good behaviour. This would create a high level of responsiveness to work hard, especially for kids who like technology.

• Provision of technological products would be done using a preferential scale, so as to regulate their exposure as they grow up.
