How technology influences the learning of children and adolescents.

As technology is good for teaching children, we must also bear in mind that misuse can cause many reactions and bad habits in children and adolescents.

For everyone in society, it has become normal or every day to walk the streets and meet young people and children with a priority focus on their phones and the need to stop talking on the phone or just surfing. Anyplace we visit there we find a lot of this, young people who no longer communicate verbally but everything is through the phone and have created a total independence to him.

It is impressive as children no older than 10 years of age to get into the car with their parents the first thing they ask is the cell phone to play or surf the Internet or the first time they get to their homes the first thing they do is turn on the television and disconnect from the outside world, which is causing a series of damaging changes in the child.

Investigating I found something that made me stop and read a bit and it was that a report made in 2009 by a Yale University School of Medicine that conducts studies and analyzes on health and the use of technology states that .. ...

the average exposure to new technologies is 45 hours per week, compared to 17 hours spent by their parents and 30 currently spent by young people in school; 45 hours of exposure in which television, games, mobile, mp3, etc. are included.

Studies do not give security but say that they are 80% convinced that the easy access that children and adolescents have to the media and to technology in general influences the long-term diseases in them.

A recognized association called the American Psychiatric Association, reveal that children can suffer from addiction to technology so much that it is assimilated to a traditional addiction such as drugs, alcohol, etc. when they overuse technology such as smartphones, tablets or televisions among others. And it is very worrying, children are forming with what they see and hear through the media.

If you are one of those concerned parents who want to know and distinguish between the habits of your child and the signs that he is addicted to technology, pay attention to these qualities that they develop.

  • When we begin to suspect that the child is beginning to dedicate too much time and tries to put a high priority on this activity and put the rest in the background as dating friends, the child is becoming addicted to such action.

  • If an isolation of the rest of the family is confirmed. He spends hours locked in his room and finds it hard to respect even the hours of food or sleep.

  • It becomes sullen and irascible. Discuss easily and do not attend to reasons.

Everything in excess is bad, handling a lot is bad, writing in excess is bad, having a lot of access and for a long time to the media and internet is extremely bad and more for our little ones who are like sponges that absorb everything they see and hear.

I recommend to your father and mother that from today you begin to establish schedules and priorities to your son, begin to educate him, start not to spoil him with everything he asks you, but to give him what you know will not hurt him and instead it will be For your good, plan more outing with your friends, meet them at home and make a meal, make a party where technology is forbidden, no matter if they bother with you, in the future you will be grateful.


Greetings to all those educators who make this platform a better world.
