Does High­-tech Gadget Manipulate Child’s Attitude?

Children always explore what’s around them. They are the most active and cutest beings of our

life. In the need of education technology has brought in some major reforms that are now

helping in many cases. Latest tech gadgets are now making things much simpler and live than

the early development of child’s behavior, attitude and personality makes up his personality in

the later stages of life. Today with technology and these gadgets manipulating our child brain

we can easily observe changes in our younger ones.


American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Council on Communications and Media (2011) in its

policy statement states “High quality interactive media can have educational benefits for

children above age two, improving social skills, language skills and even school readiness.”


These high tech gadgets are now the perfect source for interactive learning and provide

education facilities. Whether it was the Chinese counting board the abacus or an iPad today, we

humans need something which can assist us in learning new things.


Children of the 21st century are well aware of how to use a Smartphone and a tablet; this is

because they have it in their genes. This from initial stages of their lives can really help those

learning new stuffs that we learned in years.


Through technology style of teaching has changed, poetries and stories are taught by music,

video and animations. By this children use their senses on the beats of music and understand

the concept as their part of life.


With computers and interactive touch screens our children are being creative. They doodle,

paint and even record their own voices. Using a simple art page a child expresses how he feels.

It brings their ideas into reality.


It has turned into an examining tool or data processing. Teacher is able to record the events

during class and the performance of students. It increases teacher parent relationship which

makes easier to assist the performance of the child.


Technology can be the best assistor ever for our children. But parents should play a highly

proactive role in determining what amount of interaction should be allowed depending upon the

child’s hyperactivity.

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.
