2. Technology has become an indispensable part in today’s era. From
business to human life, people are using different technologies in the
name of Computers, Tablet, IPod, Mobile phone, T.V and so on.
In the same way, the prevalence of technology ownership and use is
already very high among teens and increasing among younger
children. In addition, using such gadgets has become a trend in today’s
culture for literacy and knowledge.

3. Past
Present
A mere 20 years ago,
children used to play
outside all day, riding
bikes, playing sports and
building forts.
Children now rely on
technology for the majority
of their play, grossly
limiting challenges to their
creativity and imaginations

4. The impact of technology on Children behavior
Technology is an ever present part of our daily lives and the
amount of time we spend interacting with our personal technology
devices is only increasing as we feel the need to stay connected.
And as a result, it’s nearly impossible to prevent our children from
also desiring these interactions; considering how much time we all
spend staring into these colorfully illuminated screens.
Technology, when used correctly, can actually have a very
positive effect on a child’s development.

5. The impact of technology on Children behavior
Critical thinking
Studies have shown that the increase of technology has decreased the
proportion of daily reading. In addition, it’s been argued that because many
blocks of text you encounter on digital devices are written in 140 characters or
less, children are not challenged to think critically, or to expand their thoughts.
Attention & imagination
On a similar note, attention is developed by its environment.
With the various technologies available, children are often more
distracted and less likely to focus on something else when it is present.
Also, when there is a great deal of visual stimuli and a lack of reading stories,
this can impact a child’s development of imagination.
To counteract this, it is important that children have the opportunity to explore
old-fashioned imaginative play and to let their imaginations run wild in storybooks.
Privacy & safety
As advances in technology lead to increasing levels of connectedness,
we must consider the effects that social media can have on our child’s mental
outlook, as well as their privacy and safety.

17. Conclusion
It’s important to come together as parents, teachers and therapists to
help society “wake up” and see the devastating effects technology is
having not only on our child’s physical, psychological and behavioral
health, but also on their ability to learn and sustain personal and family
relationships. While technology is a train that will continually move
forward, knowledge regarding its detrimental effects,
and action taken toward balancing the use of technology with critical
factors for development, will work toward sustaining our children.
While no one can argue the benefits of advanced technology in today’s
world, connection to these devices may have resulted in a
disconnection from what society should value most, children.
We need to understand the ways technology is impacting our children,
and how to encourage the right use of technology so it can have a
positive effect on their behavior and development, as opposed to a
negative one
