I'm not trying to sound like an old hag, but like seriously we need to look into this problem. As the great scientist Albert Einstein once said : " I fear the day when technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots."
So as you can see on the picture above, there's a big difference you see up there. In our days, we only have barbie dolls as our toys, and as for the boys, they have the plastic star wars swords, toy cars, tamagotchi, and bunch of toys made by plastics. But kids nowadays, they have iphones, ipads or anything digital products you can think of. And as a results, you see lots of small kids wearing glasses now, which is totally a sad case.
There are some side effects regarding this issues, where by the kids are getting more addicted to the digital products and they refuse to go out and they end up being an anti social freaks, not trying to sound offensive, i'm just erm, being factual. Not like all of them will end up that way, but if no further preventive measures are taken i'm sure they will end up with something pretty bad.
And erm, also speaking of health, technology certainly have some bad effects on our health. When ones rely too much on technology, they eventually couldn't live without it. When things get serious, expect them to sit in front of the computer for a whole day long. And there comes eye sight problems, obesity due to low involvement in physical activities, and you have diseases associated with obesity are like hypertension, heart disease, probably Arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries),diabetes, and skeletal diseases. So the not only we have a generation of idiots, and also we have a generation of unhealthy people.
Also, parents nowadays seems to be less aware of this issue. They think by providing their kids with those digital thingy and they became the best parents in their world. " I mean, hey i afford things that cost more than 1000 bucks, and it's not like any beggar down the street could afford these to their children. " Accept the fact people, i swear if your ancestor ever heard about this, they are going to jump out of the graveyard and smack hard in your head. Not only the younger generation have problems now, even the parents are having issues. And I know i'm in no position to criticize the way they raise the kids, as i don't even have any kids on my own. But seriously, the parents should bear in mind, raising your kids with love and care doesn't mean you let your children indulge in luxury. And studies have proven that,if kids have a higher accessibility to the digital products like mobile phone, computers, they dumber they get in the future. Which means it's not good to their intelligence quotient, or IQ. You want your kids get dumber?? easy, buy them all those stuff. ;)
To cut it short, the purpose i'm writing this post is not condemn the use of technology. Technology makes our lives easier, that's the fact and indeed, under some circumstances we need it. But people should be rational, try not to let these rule your life. So, be brilliant, people. =)))
