As
you know, everything has its positive and negative impacts. Same is the case
with the technology’s impacts on children. For the proper growth of your
children, it is highly necessary for you to have knowledge of positive and
negative impacts of technology on them. The are some of the impact of the use
of gadgets on children
Positive :
· Advances
in information technology that is increasingly rapidly create children have the
ease to information and ease in communication with parents, friends, relatives
with long distances. And with gadgets kids easily communicate with people
without requiring large amounts. For example through social networks children
can communicate with people from different parts of the world
Negative :
· Children
are addicted to gadgets. They don’t have time to sit with their parents and to
spend some good time with them. They prefer to connect with their friends and
relatives via text messaging, chatting etc., rather than meeting them actually.
Means, they are connected with others in the virtual world, but not in the real
world.
· The
influx of western culture is slowly without filtration of those who follow.
B. Educational Aspects
Positive :
· The
technology has been proven to be useful in education. Children can access the
web and get the detailed knowledge about any topic. The education games help
them to perform well in academics.
· All
kids like to play video games. When playing such games with their
friends/relatives, they earn the competition skills. The competition skills
that children learn from the video games help them compete with others in the
real world.
Negative Impacts of Technology on Children
Negative :
· There
are many technological gadgets to which children are addicted. They waste their
valuable time on these silly gadgets without worrying about the studies. This
is resulting in their poor academic performance.
· Technology
has its negative effect on writing skills of children. Standard English is not
used in the text messaging, chatting. While writing text messages, no one cares
about the spelling, punctuation and grammar. This is resulting in poor writing
skills of children.
C. The Nations Characteristics
Positive :
· With
the gadget, we can relate to anyone both within the country and outside the
country. So that we can know the differences that exist in other countries.
However, we have to filter out the influence of other cultures so that our
country's identity is not lost.
Negative :
· Children
are future of our country, our world. The sad thing is that due to increasing
technology, children have been found going away from their moral values.
Internet is working as curse for children’s character. Rather than using
Internet in productive manner, children use it as source of adult content.
· The
loss of a sense of nationalism and more in love with foreign products.
Well, it is quite clear that there are more bad
impacts than the positive impacts of technology on children. In fact, the
positive or negative effects of any particular thing depend on how we use it.
By limiting the involvement of technology in children’s life, we can easily
bring an end to all negative impacts listed above.
