Some parents think that they can hand their children an electronic and expect them to get the same nurture and experiance rather than having to teach them thereselves. Electronics arent hand offs to the younger generation to ease the parenting process, electronics are supposed to be genius and help with all sorts of things. Microsoft, science, education, medical purposes, and the learning of the new technology now adays. I am not against the new technology; I am against the thought of the people who use it for all the wrong reasons. I believe electronics and the internet are very useful for alot of things: work, experiance, education, people who need visual eduaction. I in fact do not agree with the abuse of electronics especilly a young age, well at least not too much screan time. Children need the opportunity to grow and find themselves and learn the facts behind what they are using daily to determine whether they agree its right for them or not. With a little patience, understanfding and rules i believe parents can find an easier, healthier way to entertain their

    Screentime For Teens Should Not Be Limited Two writers, Chris Bergman author of “Don’t Limit Your Teen’s Screen Time”, and Jeffery Green author of “6 Negative Effects Of Too Much Screen Time For Kids”, argue about children’s screentime. Children’s screentime shouldn’t be limited, because the child’s parents can be emailing twenty-four seven, but the child can’t play video games, so there is no fairness, children can build relationships with other juveniles online, and children can develop careers in programing or digital media. Parents who limit their child’s screen time aren’t being fair to their children.…

    Those devices are horrible for a child’s early development due to how they don't necessarily teach much other than how to tap and type, which you would obviously learn later in school. Instead, you could learn how to climb a tree, find certain berries, and even how to interact with others in the real world. In fact, I always hear about how today’s youth are much more incapable with surviving on their own or just having proper “street-smarts.” It is like all of this technology is only infecting the youth population, instead of helping…

    As everyone said there are negative and positive feelings about technology. Technology is a big part of society today with not only helping with connections with family members but also work events, school events/projects, and also extracurricular activities. As in saying this, I am a person with mixed feelings, I do not believe a 3-6 year old needs technology. A positive side of it is, it does help connect with relatives that live halfway around the world or even a couple of states away and it also helps with school projects and maybe organizing work conventions and appointments.…
