RE: ADSactly Tech News - Are Kids Addicted to Technology?
Very true.
The risks for children of this generation "digital native" are very numerous.
I would say our society is very naive in regard to the damage this is causing to children...
The child no longer prefers to go out to play with his friends, or hold a discussion with his family, he is constantly attracted by his screen and feels satisfied and happy only when he is in front of his computer.
These are good points and I would add what damage is simply being caused to the brain? How is it being rewired to cope with this reality?
Cybercrime also remains a potential risk of excessive exposure of children to the Internet.
This is worrying and a completely different aspect to the whole discussion. When a parent buys their child a smartphone are there any restrictions? I would guess in most cases there aren't and that is extremely worrying!
