Technology has also improved the transportation sectors. Before the development of technology, people normally treks to where ever they are going and this always makes life difficult and sometimes boring. But with development of technology, we can get to our destination as fast as we want without any stress. We have different types of cars, airplanes and so on which makes transportation easier.

Technology has also has also developed the health sectors by providing equipment for diagnostic and treatment.

Technology has also improved our educational sectors as lectures our sometimes hold online, including interviews and examination.

With the development of technology, we can make new and real friends online. We can talk to them, see them and also form a close friendship and relationship.

Technology has also improved the economy sectors and commerce. Alot of people advertise their businesses online, while some also buy online too and have the goods delivered to them at thier doorstep.

Positive Impact Of Technology in Kids Life

• Technology has a great impact on the lives of children though it is both positive and negative.

• To me I liken technology to two-edged sword. If not handle properly, it has negative effect but if properly handled, it will have positive effect on the lives of our children.

• Technology helps kids positively when they used it to learn, that is in the educational sectors. It has helped young children recite rhymes, poem, teach them how to count and how to start reading at early age. So children who are not of school age benefit from technology by watching videos and trying to imitate them. And this used to have a great positive impacts.

Today there are so many educational videos released for children to watch and even some textbooks comes with CD for the children to watch and have a preview of the lessons, without technology, this won't be possible. So with the help of television as teaching aid, some lessons will be boring in class especially for kids that are just starting school.

Like I mentioned earlier, technology also helped in the transportation sectors because kids no longer treks many kilometres to school and by the time they arrived at school, they are already tired. They are school buses which takes kids to and from the school. This has made life easier and enjoyable.

Kids now received good treatment when diagnosis when they are sick because of Technological advancements.

Negative impacts of technology to kids

• Most kids now are addicted to watching television, playing video games and browsing the Internet.
  Most kids spent long hours online watching games that are not good for them.

• Another negative impact is the bad influence, of technology to the lives of kid. Some kids try to imitate or live like the cartoon characters they watch. Some act violently because they want to act like the person they saw, some call it 'actors'.

• Some kids also have eyes problems because of spending too much time watching the television.

Kids are exposed to pornography through the of technology like smartphones and the Internet. Sometimes, pornographic images do pop up on thier screen and some kids will veiw it which later affect them and make them want to practice what they see.

Rate The Impact of technology in kids' life is Positive

From my own standpoint, the positive impacts of technology is greater than the negative influences of technology in the kid's lives.

Why I say the positive influences is more than the negative influences is because there are thousands of kids who have not been influenced negatively by technology but tend to benefit from technology.

There are also kids who do not let themselves be ruled or carried away by technology.

Parents roles on controlling their kids over the exposure to technologies

• Parents should closely supervise the activities carried out by thier kids with technologies.

• They should put time limits for the used of technology. Some parents restrict thier kids from using technology like smartphones to late at night.

• Parents should also from time to time check thier kids phones unware and also find out the Internet site they are browsing.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I am saying that technologies has done more good than harm. Lives had improved drastically because of Technological advancements. Life is easier and enjoyable because of the present of technology. Technology has impact positively in kid's life and has also helped them in the educational sectors.
The influence of technology in kid's lives can be reduced with parents assistance and supervision
