Well, this article is actually talking about technology related to young children.

We feel that nowadays children are different compare to last time. If you ask a child what you want for your birthday, the child will properly answer: A phone! Or PSP please? They are getting more and more into the technology stuff. From what we can see, nowadays even a primary school child is having a phone. And they are bringing it to school and show to their friends.
Back to our time, we were still not so close to technology yet, I remember I asked my mom to buy a phone for me when I was in standard 5, but she refused to buy as she said we were too small to have it.
So yeah, is it the parents also changed as time goes by? We are wonder seriously. They are willing to buy expensive phone or game players for the children, we are not saying that is not good, but is it necessary to do so?
What for a little child use an Iphone or Blackberry?

Hmmm.... back to the topic. Is alright if the child is born in a rich family, their parents can afford for what they want. But, how about those who are from poorer families? Do they need to bet their parents to buy for them as well? The child might feel he will be neglected by his friends if he doesn’t have one. Hence, he will refuse to go to school or have low self-esteem. It kind of effect the child’s in their growing process.

Even technology have those negative effects, there still have some positive effect which really benefits the children. Most of the school are having computer as their one of the formal class, children can actually learn the basic about computer. Besides that, teachers also can use the computer as one of their additional tools in teaching. Children will learn more and better with those graphics, photos, and even videos. They also will not get bored easily as they are so interested in it and can focus for a long time.

Undeniable, technology will be part of their life in future. It’s getting more and more important for everyone. Some of us even can’t survive if our phone is not around with us for only few hours? Agree? *but we can! Belief it or not? *winks**

In our opinion, even technology really makes our life easier, but try not to too rely on it. Especially for young children, they should expose to the nature more often. Instead of getting him a new gadgets, why don’t just bring him out for trip or have a walk in garden?
We believe they will learn more which doesn’t appear in their gadgets!
