How well is working?
There is no doubt that technology
has come to improve our lifestyle. At least, that is the main idea. However, it
is worth to take a moment to think: Is it really working well? Since there are way too many
aspects involving technology and its benefits, I decided to pick a topic that concerns me the most: Technology at a young age and its effects.
We all know that our
kids are having accesses to electronic devices at really young stage of their
lives. We see videos on the internet, of little babies playing and having a
great time handling a tablet, smartphone, and iPod and so on. However, I wonder if
it is all roses. What are the pros and cons on exposing our kids to technology
so early in life? Have you ever asked yourself?
This blog is an opportunity for
us to take a moment and look over some of the pros and cons of technology, and
then analyze if the pros outweigh the cons.
Pros
Faster development.
Yes! Their learning development is much faster. Handling a tablet will
provide our kids the chance to learn stuffs much faster in a much funnier way. Games
for example, stimulates the brain to think quicker and came up with solutions
for dilemmas.
Computer will soon be on every school's check list.
Schools are utilizing technology in order to retain student´s attention.
Therefore, the sooner our kids are in touch with it the better they will
perform at school.
Parent´s Piece of Mind.
Tired of
asking yourself where your kids are? Give them a smartphone and this problem is
over. They will probably stay on the sofa for hours and hours.
Everyone has got to be connected!
In today's society, being connected is crucial for living, working and
socializing. If our kids learn how to deal with those tools at an early age, we
as parents will be able to teach them to handle all these information in a
healthier manner.
Here is a cute quick video that shows how early our kids are engaging to
technology:
There is an entire world out there to be explored and those are only a few pros of kids interacting with technology. Yet, as I have mentioned before,
it is not all roses. In my next blog, I will list some of the cons of over exposing children too early.
I will see you then! :)
