1_．What effects could using technology have on a child’s personal development?
Well, I guess that using technology is a double-edged sword. On the positive side, using a computer or a mobile phone can help children think independently. I have heard that spending time on a computer could trigger healthy activity in the brain. A lot of computer programs or games require children to make decisions on their own. In addition, technology has become part of our daily lives, so whatever kids learn from a young age will very likely be useful in their future studies and career. On the other hand, I think that technology is addictive for children. You can always see kids playing with their portable PSP or their parents’ mobile phones. If parents don’t control the amount of time their children spend in front of a screen, this will have negative consequences for the children’s social life. Kids need to go out and socialize and interact with people.
