Negative effects of technology on children

The world is full of technology. While technology helps humans with many
advancements and conveniences, it presents some consequences for children.

Children of 2 years old can be seen watching a cartoon on a tablet or playing with a
cellphone. Therefore, technology keep children occupied while people tend to their
everyday tasks. While children are entertained using devices like tablets, television,
cellphones, and computers, many studies show that these devices have negative
effects.

The excessive use of electronic devices cause problems in the development of social
skills. This includes the ability to make friends in person, take responsibility for actions,
develop good manners, use polite language, control emotions and temper, follow
verbal directions, and develop empathy for others.

Kids who excessively use electronics devices are isolated and have problems with
communication skills such as conversational skills, listening, and making eye contact.
They avoid social interaction to spend more time using electronic devices or use the
device to avoid social situations.

Technology can also affect mental health of children. According to scientists, it is

possible that teenagers who spend so much time on Facebook present psychological
problems such as mania, paranoia, and aggressiveness.
