Technology has impacted the world as a whole.

Mobile/Computer addiction is destroying our social skills. As a result, We have various physical and mental problems. In addition, this addiction to technology is having a major long-term negative impact on ou lives. Keeping eyes on the mobile screen for a long time is causing eye problems. Also, sitting for a long time is increasing the obesity of us, decreasing the imagination of us."

Due to children's excessive phone addiction, the child gradually loses the ability to gossip with the family, move forward if necessary, and mingle with everyone. This image is often seen in cities.People are addicted to playing games, listening to music, watching cartoons for hours on mobile. Getting latest videos, games on the phone does not show much interest in playing on the field.

As a result, a kind of monotony is observed among them and sociability does not increase much.

Positivity and Negativity of technology in kids' lives.

• ✅Self-Activeness: Kids develop intellectual and practical knowledge through technology. Through technology education students become self active in choosing subjects based on their own needs. That is, students are able to meet their needs through technology.

• ✅Aim to be a Technologist: Using technology or adopting technology in education can pave the way for various students to become expert technologists in the future. That is, as a result of the use of technology in education, students can become experts about technology.

• ✅Enjoyment: Monotonous teaching of any subject becomes boring and unsatisfying to the Kids. But if the teaching process is done using technology, it can eliminate boredom and is easily accepted by the Kids .

• ❌Bad Addiction: Technology dependence and online addiction are having a major long-term negative impact on children's lives. Such addictions are destroying children's social skills. Children's imagination, thinking power is also decreasing.

• ❌Feel Inadequacy: There is now a trend of widespread use of mobile phones, tablets, computers, laptops and the Internet among children. Children who are used to using these regularly become restless if they stay away from them for a while. And those who don't have these technology products, look around them and feel a sense of inadequacy.

• ❌Ruin Future: Most children spend their days playing games. It is a very destructive thing in nation building. These children are the future leaders of the country. And if they are misguided due to the use of internet, it will have an adverse effect on our future nation building.

The impact of technology in kids' life:

In keeping up with the times, we should take special care not to push the child towards danger. Causes of addiction Using the technology for educational purposes and technology addiction are two completely different things. Family plays a major role in excessive internet usage.

Children today are facing various long-term harms and dangers due to parents' ignorance, unawareness and negligence regarding the technology .From a very young age, parents hand over smartphones, tablets, etc. to children to keep them calm or easy to handle. Later, it is seen that the child cannot cope without a phone or tab. If not, anger, stubbornness, shouting or vandalism start. Many a times parents themselves are engrossed in internet and social media for most of the day and children learn by watching.

Control over the exposure of kids to certain technological products:

They should be informed about computer syndrome headache, nervous weakness, high blood pressure if they use computer or mobile for a long time.Children should be kept away from electronic devices during feeding or bedtime.Many times different games and cartoon characters influence children. Various mayhem or violent scenes in games disturb the mental health of children. Keep the child away from these.

Due to prolonged use of digital devices, temper tantrums, children may experience many behavioral changes.Practice drawing, singing, writing poetry, dancing or making handicrafts.Read stories to the child at bedtime or during leisure time.Practice gardening if you have space around the house or on the roof.

Parents should not do office work on laptop computers at home unless necessary. Do not use mobile in front of children. Listen carefully to the child, talk with them.Take the child outside the house to open spaces, parks or places of interest on holidays. If possible take a village tour.
