impact of technology on the entire world

Technology has became a lifestyle, from a toddlers toys to a adult necessity. It has changed the way we communicate, how we learn and how we work. The invention of the internet has allowed people to connect with each other from all over the world in a instant . It has also allowed people to share information and ideas faster than ever before. Technology has also changed the ways of entertainment, now kids don't go outside to play they prefer their VR boxes and video games. We now have devices that can give us a virtual reality experience, or games that can be played on our phones. Technology has impacted our eating and drinking habits. We now have devices that can cook our food for us, or allow us to order food online and have it while chilling on Netflix. Take the good example of Steemit this is the platform that has revolutionaries learning ,earning and socializing. This one platform caters the need of many people who are looking for a better way to learn and earn online. Steemit is a blockchain-based social media platform that rewards users for creating and publishing quality content. This impact has taken the roots in the mindsets of our young ones and grown ups alike and has helped them in developing new skills and knowledge.

Positives and negatives of technology

As technology is an ongoing process where kids and adults can get to see plenty of new things to learn, have fun, engage in meaningful conversation with the experts from all around the world as well as make new friends and contacts, it has also come with its share of negativity. Young kids are often prey to online scams, which can lead them into losing money or worse. In addition , social media can be a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but it can also lead to kids feeling overloaded with too much information or in extreme cases to nudity and violence.

Positives of technology on kids life

Developing new skills
With online free and paid courses every kid is learning something new. Technology has made learning available to everyone, no matter their location or socioeconomic status. Online courses these kids can get have an impact on the mindset of the kids and they do prepare them for what is coming for them in the future.

Sharing information
Kids are great at spreading the word about what they know. They love to share what they know with others and technology has made it easier for them to do so. Kids are also great at asking questions, which is what experts need in order to answer them.

Building relationships:
Kids spend a lot of time online and as a result, they develop better relationships with people around the world. They also learn to communicate effectively, which is essential in learning patience and cross-culture norms, which in turn makes them good global citizens who knows how to respect the differences.

Negatives of technology on kids life

Knowing too much:
With the access to the technology , kids can know too much about things they should not. This is a problem because it can lead to them making bad decisions and exposing themselves to harm.

Exposure to violence:
As mentioned earlier, kids are exposed to violence when they use the internet. This is because they often see things that other people have posted online and this can lead them to act out in violent ways. Online kids can find the ways to commit wrong acts and With fighting video games and other forms of violence being so popular, it is important that parents are aware of the dangers their children are facing when using technology.

Technology's impact- Highly positive or negative

When we see the impact of technology on lives of kids we see that it is not the thing that has positive or negative impact but it is the user who makes the good or bad use of anything . For example, a kid can use the internet to stay connected with friends by using certain forms of social media or he can use it for cyberbullying and threaten their fellows who might be somehow different from them. It all depends on how the child uses technology. If he makes good use of it, then the technology has a positive impact on his life. However, if he uses the internet for negative purposes such as cyberbullying it could cost the child his whole future. According to me controlled usage of internet has highly positive impact on child 's life. Parents must be more responsible and monitor their children's internet usage to make sure that they are using it for the right reasons.

Controlling access to technology

Only the kids parents have control over what they watch and listen to on TV or in the media. Parents can set rules about what their kids can watch and play, but it's ultimately up to them. Some parents might want to talk to their kids about what they're watching so that they can get a sense of what's appropriate for them. Other parents might choose to set stricter rules and ground their kids from technology if they see them breaking the rules. Ultimately, it's up to the parents to make these decisions and set boundaries for their kids. Other way to control kid's technology use is by making them morally so strong that they know by themselves what is right or wrong for them, they would not get indulged in something wrong because they are well aware of the consequences of their actions.

You are true these are only parents which can control them, but more strict behavior is sometimes needed otherwise children are so stbborn to cell phones and games. Yeah moral values should teach to students what is right and wrong, so they can understand it. Best of luck for contest

Amigo es verdad solo los padres tenemos el deber de controlar el uso de estos dispositivos aunque con el avance de la tecnología hemos podido lograr numerosos aparatos que de alguna forma han podido ayudar a investigar la cura contra el cáncer y otras enfermedad. Saludos y muchos éxitos en el concurso.🤗

It is important to take into account the positive and negative aspects that technology can have on children.

They must be educated, to make good use of technological devices, and to constantly monitor the interaction of children with such devices.

Thank you for sharing such useful recommendations to control or regulate the use of technological equipment by children.

Successes in the contest.

Kids education is so important in this regard, may all of us get saved from the bad impact of anything to come.

good publication you have written I some much agree with you, it is up to the parent to model how they chose to introduce tech to their children, the use of technology in children's life depends on what the children use it for, with proper monitoring and setting rules, I agree that children with adapt to the always of using technology

Thanks for sharing

Thankyou so much for these kind words. Technology is indeed a double edged sword for the kids.

For me I'll prefer to control the use of the internet myself and not wait for the parents to come and set rules, they might make it almost impossible to use the internet hahaha.
I liked your entry my dear friend. Technology is good and bad
