Hi fellow steemians,I hope we are all doing well, Alhamdulillah. It is yet another great week with an interesting challenge for all us in this community. I want to thank the leaders of this noble community and the members who are always keeping this community active and interesting.
This week challenge is about an impact of technology in kids lives.
Well, technology is a scientific knowledge that is been used by people that has has impact on their lives.
Technology is something that comes to stay with the people. It has a lot of impact in this modern life, people can not live this time without technology. Technology has brought positive and negative impact into the life's of humans. Technology has helped a lot of countries in achieving a lot of developmental projects,it has also brought see countries into hard life. Because of technology,atomic bombs come into existence, and well technological countries are using on other countries.
Technology has also helped people to trade, communicate with people who are far from each other. Technology has made things simple for people in this world. Technology has positive and negative impact on kids.
Below are some of them;
<center Positive impact of technology on kids
1 Education
Technology has make education for kids so easy in a sense that, during the olden days,the only way for kids to have education was only to attend schools in the building or even homeschooling,so kids could've no attend or have education in different places (other countries),but technology has made is simple for kids to have education in different countries at the comfort of their home by the use of technology. Online education help kids to have access to education in all over the world.
2 Problem solving
Technology has a way of issuing a problem and also the ways of solving them. There are some games that teaches a kid in solving problems on their own without the help of their parents or adults. Games also develop kids mind in order of passing through some difficulty stages.
Negative impact of technology on kids
1 Lower attention
Technology can have a direct impact on span. Kids who are always found using technological tools find it difficult in paying attention when ever their attention is needed. Sometimes,kids have to pay much attention in schools, homes and everywhere they finds themselves, because not everything can the technology teaches them,there are things that can't be lean from technology but paying attention to teachers and parents.
2 Lower of performance.
Students who are found always on their phones and other technological devices sometimes don't have time for their studies, sometimes kids are found using the internet for different reasons and that makes it difficult to study
3 Watching
Kids sometimes watch pornography films. There are sites that have porn films online. The site do ask is the person to watch it is 18+,but since it's online,a kid can decide to be of that age just to have access to it.
How would you rate the impact of technology in kids' life? Highly positive or negative? Explain.

Technology has positive and negative for both kids and adults. The impact on kids would depend on the parents,there are so many things that the parents have to do to make technology have positive impact on kids.
In this modern time, kids and adults can not do without technology, because technology has taken as all,day in day out,kids needs to have fun, entertainment, learn and also to interact. So parents should always put eyes on the technologival tools that their kids are using in order to avoid them from misusing it, parents should do well in guiding kids at this early stages.
If Parents don't have time for kids,it also have negative impact on kids. Parents who seems to be busy normally don't have time for their kids when on cell phonesthem. Not doing any gossip and even not playing with them. Nor do they manage time to move their kids out for some tours and , and TV. So it exerts negative effects on children.
With much care from parents,I think kids can benefit more through technology.
Can you have control over the exposure of kids to certain technological products? How?"
What I can say is that, I believe that everything that have to do with kids can be controlled. Technology is a good things but when kids are to use it wrongly,I think they should be controlled.
Parents should always monitor kids when using technological devices. Parents should always try controll kids when ever they are to use technological devices inappropriately,they should rather advise them by showing them the risk of misusing see technological devices. Parents should also try to put monitoring tools(trackers) that will help them to know how their kids are using the devices with or without the presence of their parents.
To Conclude
In conclusion,I can say advanced technology has brought many positive changes in life of humans at the same time negative. So the duty of parents is to teach the kids on how to maintain the positive changes and also do away with the negatives ones. The kids are the future leaders,so we should try in bringing them up in the positive way in order to make them responsible leaders for tomorrow.
Thank you for reading my submission and I will like to invite @lukman1, @titi7 and @ophoto to also join this interesting contest.
Technology has become part of human life, so from an early age, children already begin to use technological equipment.
It is important that parents regulate the time that their children spend connected to technological devices, to avoid addiction and the other risks to which they are exposed.
In the same way, we must remember the great benefits that the use of these equipments has in our children.
I was happy to read your participation and you have nailed the point of the contest and written in good detail what is required. Thank you for participating, we hope that technology gets utilized in the best way and that it's negative effects is well controlled
