A lot of us today have the newest electronics in technology. we have smart phones, smart cars, iPad, touch screen computers, the apple watch, the list could just go on for miles. in this day and age if we do not know how to get to a store we can just type in the address on goggle map and it will find us the quickest way to get to where we need to go.
I feel like all this technology is bad for our future. i am not sure if anyone has notice but most of the teenager today want the money up front but they do not want to work for it. if the child came from an upper class family they are probably use to getting thing they ever wanted and they did not even have to lift a finger to buy it. I am sorry to say this but the most of teenagers in the younger generation are just lazy.
The other thing about technology is that it takes the face to face interaction away from your friends and family. many people care more about how many people like their post, or how many followers they have. what about your family that lives with you? do they not even exist? with all this technology it can cause many problems between people who are trying to get married and start a life.i have seen couples get mad at each other over something so stupid on facebook or just because he or she was talking to the opposite sex. in my opinion it is best to get rid of facebook and twitter or what ever social network you have and stay focused on loving and caring for your spouse.
it is sad to say that even a two old knows how to use a smart phone. toy companies have even started to make toy smart phones for kids. they only thing i see when a child at two years old can handle a smart phone is that the parents are not interacting as much with the child. the child is only copping what the parents do. so if it is swiping left and right on a screen all day then that is what the child will do. when will this technology stop? i know that people think it is great for the future but i think it is the end to man kind.
kids are getting less outdoor time because they are too busy playing games or online talking to friends instead of going to the park to play. set a time limit that the kids can be online or on the phone. try the same for yourself. it might do you some good to go outside and just take a nice walk without any music or distraction and just listen to the nature around you.
I agree that technology has had a negative impact on children in the regards that it has made them lazy. But their are plenty of benefits that have come with technology and education. Their have been many different ways developed to help them learn new languages better than the traditional textbook method. So I can't say it is all bad.
ReplyDeletetrue but sometimes to much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing as well. I am more of a hands on person and that is why I am not into all the new phones and so on and so forth. I would rather read a book that has pages I can turn, touch and feel lol
DeleteTechnology really has its pros and cons. The library I work at has a system called Evergreen and a website for patrons to use. Evergreen is an online system for us to check-in,check-out, in-house, etc. It is pretty much the whole neural system of the library. On our website patrons can log onto their account that is connected with their library card barcode and can renew their items, put holds on books, check out e-books, e-magazines, etc. It offers so many things for patrons who don't have time to come in and check out a book.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I love a book myself. I love the smell of them and flipping the pages. (I secretly love looking at a book while I'm reading it to see how much I have read). I'm obviously not the only one who enjoys that because libraries still keep the books. But since there isn't a stop to technology, libraries have to keep up the pace with people wanting something quick and fast at their fingertips.
Yes, technology is bad for social interaction and it can go down easily, but its opened up new doors for everyone (like maybe you have a relative that moves to Washington and you want to keep in touch? Facebook, texting and phone calls are quick compared to sending out letters). There's bad and good with it, and I don't see a stop to it unless we have an apocalypse.
