Technology Affects Brain Stimulation

There are many view points on whether kids should be allowed to have limited time to access media devices or electronical screens in general. Many people say that too much screen time can effect children’s brains, while others support screen time because it can be used for educational purposes. My view on this matter is that screen time should be limited for certain purposes, such as educational uses, communication, and for entertainment.

In today’s society we are getting attached to our cell phones, tablets, iPad, computers, and even to our televisions. Many believe that technology could be affecting the developing minds and others believe that it is beneficial to our children. As of right now, many schools are allowing iPad in classrooms, so students can use it as a resource. But in reality are these extra resources affecting the way that a child learns?

To prove that technology is for the better, I tracked my usage over a couple of days. On school days I used a computer or laptop for around three and a half hours to help with various reports and assignments. Once I had the chance, I used my phone for mainly social media. Social media can further your knowledge on recent events, new ideas, different opinions, and so much more. For example, I see media coverage on important events less than an hour after it starts; before technology advances, there was no way to do this. Many people believe that social media and technology is damaging to younger generations, but it is actually informing them on an array of subjects.

In the Veldt by Ray Bradway, the Wendy and Peter are at fault for killing their parents because since the kids wanted control of the nursery since they were addicted, and their parents wouldn’t let them in since the nursery was malfunctioning, they were going to move away, but the only way to have the control of the nursery was to kill them.

Technology has impacted student’s education by behavior and they 're brain. Education has been an important thing for human beings because we get better jobs, but if a distraction comes and destroys it,then our brain does not fully cooperate with it. It has become an important thing in our life which can harm us and our brains. But, it also changed our daily lives and technology affects the memories towards short-term and long-terms. There has been a negative effect that teenager’s brain goes through and it does not let them think creatively and miss their brains up. Technology can go into positive and negative effect, but one thing that teenagers and parents cannot do is to stop using it for a long time. They get obsessed with it and you cannot get rid of these devices. Technology negatively affects brain development in children because usage affects their learning, and therefore technology use should be limited during children’s formative years.

Every newborn should have a cell phone, tablet device, MP3 player or a computer as a present for their baby shower gifts instead of their regular diapers or baby bottles. Most adults now carry their smart phone with them everywhere they go. It can be very tempting to give their children the technology to play with on a regular basis. It is like a way for them not too busy with their children. Should their children under the age of five be allowed to have full access to technology? Adults should not leave their children under five years of age exposed to technology so early is a better choice for three reasons.

It is true, kids love to play. But, playing all of the time is not at all possible as it can affect their studies, but what if they are enjoying and studying at the same time? It can undoubtedly be said that kids belonging to the present generation are so fortunate to have the interactive learning techniques by their side with an intention to attain the fun and education simultaneously.

The article “How much technology should you let your child use?” and the video clip “How children use iPads” are about technology. We will define technology as the use of computers, iPads, phones, smart boards etc. But technology is also a technical aid. We use technology a lot nowadays and the younger generation are “born” with the technology.

For all seventeen years of my life, I have lived in a typical suburban town located in the midwest. I have friends who come from rich families and friends who come from poor families, but most of us come from somewhere in between. One thing we all have in common though is that by the time we were in middle school, we all had our own smartphones. Each one of us also has either a television, a computer or a tablet in our rooms; several of us have more than one of these devices. We are not an unusual or unique group of people. I would say that our experiences are typical, as our generation “has seen an unprecedented increase in the use of technology in everyday life” (Hertlein 374).

From phones to cars, electronics are quickly becoming a large part of today’s society. Children as young as ten are walking down the sidewalk carrying the latest iPhone, and laptops are mandatory at many schools across America, even though too much screen time can be dangerous to their growth. Because electronics such as phones, TV’s, computers, and more play such a major role in society, risks like health problems, decreased socialization, and electronic addiction are overlooked - which is why screen time should be limited for children.

How would you feel if all of your electronics stripped off you? Would you feel anxious, worried, frustrated? That heart stopping moment you get when you think you have lost your phone and it feels like a stone falling endlessly into the abyss of your stomach. We are all hooked on the drug of technology which gives us the knowledge of lies, filling our children’s precious young minds with false facts and telling them how to look and act. Are we all sucked into the portal of technology unable to return to reality because we are imprisoned by a screen?

Today, more than 40 percent of two-year-olds use some form of mobile device. These parents are allowing their children, most who barely can form sentences, to use these devices and consume the mind garbage on the internet. Every day these children and others use the internet for a range of things, anywhere from research to watching videos. These devices may help children in many ways, but they can also do the exact opposite. As parents keep allowing their children to overuse their screen time, it is causing great damage.

Technology has become a staple in everyday lives. In today’s world, people are consumed by different pieces of technology. However, technology influences one group of people more than others, and that group is the youth. The youth of today are some of the biggest consumers of electronics. They have grown up and continue to grow in a world at the tips of their fingers. With bigger and better devices being brought out year after year, the problem of too much electronics becomes more imperative. Children spend most of their time on some type of device which can become a huge risk. These underlying health issues can become some of the most severe issues one can have, especially a child.

“Our children’s digital lives are turning them into much different creature from us - and not necessarily for the better” (Dalton Conley, Time Magazine). Today , technology surrounds us. It has replaced man with machines, which made the working process more easier, accessible and user friendly. It has advanced with years and changed the way we live, the way we shop, the way we communicate, the way we travel, the way we learn and many other changes in our lives that is brought by the continuous progress in the development of technology. Children are mostly surrounded by technology at home and at school so much that their life cannot function without it. While technology has helped children to make lots of advancement in terms of their academics and personal development, it has also caused

The technology subject today become such a controversial topic. Some people think that technology can make some negative differences like isolation issues. In the other side many people believe that technology is a great thing we have discovered that make our life easier on education, businesses, and different aspects. No one can deny that technology today has changed our life. Personally, I think that we got a lot of positive changes because of the technology, for example our lifestyle become easier when we contact each other, knowing the news, and our education become much better because of using technology, as a result we still should appreciate social media because of many reasons. For example, today,
