Hello everyone
I wish my steemian family is doing great. I would like to say special thanks to @steemkids for organizing another exciting contest.

Technology has a vast effect on World. It had grown very fast over the past few decades and exerts a great effect on society in every aspect of life. No field of life is possible without technology. With time, effects are rapidly growing.

Furthermore, it has not only changed the lifestyle of everyone but also the way of communicating, the power of learning and thinking are drastically upgraded. If I thought we can imagine this world without technology the answer would be no, of course, it had occupied all fields of life in the World.

Technology and the World both are moving side by side in terms of correlation, influence, and dependency. The progress or downfall of any society is now based on the use and advancement of technology. So the consequence is that our society's main shape is based on the influences of technology.

If we consider the level of dependency on technology it starts with cell phones, tablets, computers, tablets, TV, etc; these are regarded as a basic need for lifestyle.

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

There are many positive aspects of technology in kids. It can be helpful such as:

Increase learning capabilities

It has been observed that technological products used increased the learning capabilities of kids, which in turn improved IQ levels in children. Their IQ level is much higher than previous generations.

Although it was tested many times with difficult tasks kids were able to solve it. It's only because the impact of technology increased pressure on stimuli which leads to improved learning capacity in new generation kids.

Congnitive skills

Kids' mathematical learning and memory can be boosted with the use of math and memory games. It exerts a positive effect on cognitive learning it can be useful in their later life.

Social interaction

The use of different apps increase sed social interaction of kids with friends and family. They may be able to send different documents and pictures etc with friends which increased learning skills in children.

Bulidup confidence

The use of technology may enable kids to find answers to questions, they can search on interact, this approach increases the confidence level in kids, a sort of independence for career building.

Negative impacts

Physical Activity

With the over use of internet, mobile phones, tv and games made the kids life sedentary, they always stuck to one place. Physical activities and exercise are minimized and therfore physical fitness disturbed.

Social skills

Although use of technology increased learning capcity in kids, but face interaction, expression and discussion with other friends very helful in increasing the social skills in kids. Unfortunately, with the massive use of technology these skill getting reduced in children.

Behavioral changes

Kids watch different characters in cartoon, games and in different media, try to copy them in real life and wanted to be like them, this may cause behavior changes and sometimes they become so rude. Like while copy of hero who is fighting they may cause the arrogance in childre.

Vision problem

I moved in my community schools, i have seen the issue if weak eyesigh is very common, the reason i found is excessive use of cell phones, games and watching tv. As the rays emerges and kids are in process of development and their eyesight get down with the passage of time.

Fitness and obesity

Mostly kids engaged in different games and watching tv after came back from school and did not move anymore, the obesity increased in such children and they are not much active in schools.

Sleep cycle

Kids are such intouch with technology abd fames they sit for playing at late night no one stop them from doing this. This resultantly leads to late sleep and disturbed mental health. Such children are not active in school nor any other activities. Their circadian rhythm got disturbed which leads to less brain development.

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

As I mentioned above technology has both positive and negative impacts on kids' lives. In my opinion, it depends on the parents of kids how they can use it.

• In the modern era kids can not live without technology, the t's a need of the day for entertainment, knowledge, skills, and interactions too. But now the role of parents starts they can guide their kids at a younger age. Like my daughter is 9 months old donot use much cell phones in front of her, as she is growing and kids copy their parents. If she sees me using cell phones all day she will do the same.
• In case kids are using cell phones or games keep an eye watch. What they are watching will guide them to do the right things. Because check and balance of everything are must be needed. If we do not bother about its use; they must try to use it negatively because they thought no one is to see them and stop them.

• Similarly if I rate negative impact these are also due to parents. If parents have no time for kids; are busy on cell phones and are not entertaining them. Not doing any gossip and even not playing with them. Nor do they manage time to move their kids out for some tours and activities. Ultimately, they will try to find this entertainment on cell phones, games, and TV. So it exerts negative effects on children.

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

If I say we can control the exposure of technological products. It can be possible as follow.

• Excessive use of everything is bad. If we control kids from an early age these problems can be overcome. If we fix his or her time for watching games or using cell phones it can be controlled. Then just take off these products from the kids and not be so lenient with them.
• Give time and company to their kids, be their friends so that they could not feel alone, when they will see their parents sitting with them doing some activities with them, they will be happy and will not think of the use of technology as much as.
• Whenever parents have weekends and holidays move out with their kids, show them nature beauty, and the creativity of Allah Almighty, this will urge them a sort of creativity, happiness, and calmness in behavior. They will feel happy other than playing games or watching Tv.

• Try to do creative activities with kids at home if could not manage to move out. It will develop strong bonds between parents and kids, they will feel happier in all these activities.
• My princess is 9 months old when I guess she is bored at home I take her out to parks and playland for an hour according to my time. Honestly, she felt much happy and relaxed. All these activities can stop kids from less use of technological products less in this modern era.

I would like to invite my friends @drhuma, @iqrarana786 and @sohaibali to participate in this contest.
