An overview of how technology has impacted the world as a whole


Technology's impact on the world can never be underrated, technology has come to impact the world at large for example, The internet, we have the internet that makes things easier and also makes our life much easier and we could easily access the outside world without having to move an inch from the corner of our house.

I believe technology has come a long way that the world at large might not even exist any longer at this stage without technology, technology makes things easier through smart devices through technology we could easily reach out to someone 1,000 miles away, and also we can communicate with them, we can send a message as well without using the Old method of information transmitting, there has been a lot of impacts that technology has in the world and it has also come to solve the word problem at large.



Some of the positivity and negativity of technology in kids' lives


Well, technology could have some great impact and a lot of positivity in kids' life and as well it can impact their life in a negative way also.

Positivity

Here is the list of positivity of technology in kid's life.

  • It makes their brain broaden - kids that are exposed to technology at a young age get to know a lot of things about technology sooner and as well as understand how the worlds works, because with the internet, they could literally socialize with others, socialize with among their peers and also have the Internet access to understand how life works among their fellow kids.
  • Through technology, kids can broaden their research knowledge - I believe as a kid once you have the internet, and a smart device to yourself, most of your troubles are solved as you can literally search for anything on the internet then you can try as much as possible to learn as much as you want because with technology you have one unlimited resource to yourself.
  • Kids exposed to technology right from a young age tend to be smarter and are also well exposed, as with technology they could easily socialize, learn about things, and not feel weird about what they can't interact with their parents with.

Technology negativity

Just like I said earlier, technology also has a negative impact on kids when they have been introduced without proper care.

  • Which technology comes out of obsession, especially with kids, they could get the wrong idea as they might be obsessed with the technology and they might tend not to have a life outside their devices any longer and become too obsessed that when the device is been seized from them, they get to grow little emotions and be very wary.

  • It could also give the wrong idea to kids and they could learn the wrong idea with the internet since they have unlimited access and Resources to the internet, they could get whatever they want which made them vulnerable and they could also go on to do wrong and awful things on the internet, so without proper care and control technology at times to kids, might actually give them a wrong impression of what they are doing.



How would I rate the impact of technology in kids' life?


I believe technology has a greater impact on kids and with the possibility of the internet, the positivity surpassed the negativity of the technology, so with this, I could give a total grade of 7/10 to the impact of technology in kids' life.

The negative part of the technology could be controlled as we could expose our kids and correct them on things to look for on the internet with proper guidance kids could learn about technology in the right way, so with this, they could have access to a lot of knowledge online and they could be very attentive and they could easily learn things at a young age.

So i believe technology has a great impact on kids other than a negative impact on them, so it would be good if we expose them to use keep technology and give them proper guidance on how it is used and what to do with it also.



Can we have control over the exposure of kids to certain technological products? How


Yes, there are ways that parents could control their kid's exposure to technology.

There are a lot of application devices that enable parents to switch their kid's devices to kids mode, this is done in a sense whereby their internet access gets to be restricted to some certain browser and some certain webpages only.

Their exposure could also be monitored by introducing some application login devices and that the parents could easily check what they are doing straight up from his own device as well.

And also the parents could give a proper guidance of the Internet to their kids by telling them the certain website they should not look up to, and also give the kids access to some particular page for them only, this is done in such a way that Adults web Page could be totally blocked and as well open a Google Kids account for them.



Conclusion


Here comes my conclusion on the topic of technology in part on kids' life , so I believe with my write-up, you have been able to learn a thing or two on how technology impact the kids in a negative and positive way, and also how we get to control our kids use of technology.
