iPads vs Books: A Misconception Solved

Do iPad discourage skills, such as reading and writing? Do these gadgets impact concentration levels and attention spans on our little ones?

There are an ample amount of questions such as the ones mentioned above, why is there so confusion regarding technology and our lifestyle, why do we consider this as taboo when our little one starts using an iPad?



Well to answer these questions firstly we need to understand the fact that these gadgets are our savior, developed to cater our needs and to make our work easier not to increase our concerns.

iPad has its own trend, it propagates through masses with its sleek design and user friendly interface. This gadget took over instantly with its effects driven unanimously. Our kids are vulnerable to many stuffs, among those are iPad's flashy screen.

Debating over the use of iPad's and our little ones are not a new agenda. It is very important to keep an eye on what our children are doing and which traits our children are absorbing from their environment.

With its use, iPad becomes popular in children. By introducing interactive and addictive apps children are becoming addicted to iPad's. Within this time some new games with a mission and vision were introduced, these were the educational and learning games that were intended to educate preschoolers before their first step at school.

Considering how important these educational apps were, a number of parents downloaded these apps for enabling their children to learn the basics before their preliminary education. Home KG is considered as one of the most influential learning apps that educates preschoolers with the basics of English, maths and drawing. This app is widely popular among preschoolers because of its user friendly interface, colorful graphics and fun music.

Arguing over importance of books and taking over iPad is a false propaganda, what I believe is the significance of books with stands in every era, whether the most technological or vintage. Books will always be influential and used as a guideline for many of the developments ahead. Technological gadgets can never take-on books, this is because books are the origin and you cannot just ignore what has been the reason for your creation.
