Future generations will also be highly influenced by technology. This can bring very positive, but also negative effects on the population. In order to find how people from different generations are being affected by technology, it is best to analyze the relationship between technology and children, young adults both in higher education and the workforce, and older people.
Children
When used appropriately, technology can help aid young children in learning, however, while effective in some areas, it cannot teach valuable social skills developed through real-life interaction.
