Bad Impact of Technology on Kids
Gone are the days when kids were fond of the real world, they are now perpetually obsessed with the use of technology in different forms. Of course, they get updates on current issues through technology. Despite this, there are several negative impacts of technology on kids.
Interruption of learning environment
A child tends to be easily impressionable, and can instantaneously lose its interest on formal education unmindful of its responsibilities as a student.
Lack of interaction
If the children are merely concentrated on using of technology, then they hardly gain any knowledge about their own society, lifestyle, and culture. Acting as digital children, they lack social bonding or connection. There is a high possibility that the children will get isolated from real society.
Privacy issue
Teenagers tend to use the internet without being aware of the private information that gets disclosed to others. Sometimes, this behavior leads them to become victims of cybercrime.
Mental and physical depletion
The children who are addicted to the use of technology, tend suffer from a lot of physical and mental problems, such as poor sleep, tendency to be easily distracted, fatigue and much more.
Privation of creativity
Research done using the internet is simple and quick, but the information thus obtained may not be reliable. Most of the time, children completely rely on the information that are easily available in the internet. As a result, children become less creative, which weakens their thinking capacity.
