The Negative Effects Of Technology On Children

The first solution is parents must partially abstain children from technology by limiting children’s screen time according to American Academy of Pediatrics. The reason is that children don’t need technology to learn just as how current icon don’t need technology to bring them to where they are now. Furthermore, even Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple does not fancy his children playing technology. In fact, when iPad first came out, he banned his children from using them. He has an orthodox functional family that have their dinner table talk. He leads by example to all the tech-savvy and ordinary people out there. The pros of this solution is that we can see the fruition of this solution as children without technology are still becoming the future leader. The con is that technology is evolving and it is unsure whether there is life without technology in the future. The solution will work for the time being before technology controls every aspect of our life.
Technology now uses just children’s sense of sight and hearing but the sense of smell, touch and movement is underdeveloped. To counter these problem, programs that incorporate movements can be used. Using GPS in educational devices and setting objectives that are location-related is a way that makes students more focused on movements instead of being sedentary playing their phones and devices. In the near future, when Virtual Reality becomes a reality, it can also be used to further immerse all of children’s senses including their sense of depth. The pro is more children’s senses are going to be stimulated. The cons are these devices are limited and programs that are available is scarce and they can’t suspend children attention for a long
