There will always be a debate over this subject.
Whether technology can aid in education or if it will

By: Just Jared
But the debate has been changed from whether or not technology

incorporated on a day to day basis.
By: Verrussolutions
It’s all about balance between the two extremes, to find a common
ground between over saturation of media consumption and avoiding it all
together. This is something that can be determined by the parents and the
child itself.
