For my research topic, I chose influences of technology on society on younger children. I considered the positive and negative impacts on kids. Based on many studies, the technology is a double- edged sword, however questions arise: (Discussion Question)
Whether technology and kids are beneficial or drawnbrack?
Which has dominant impacts and how they affect the younger generation lifestyle?
How technology impacts learning and developing skills?
How can kids engage in fun without technology?
How should we encourage the kids to balance their lifestyle with technology?
Thesis Statement;
The influences of technology on younger children are complex, encompassing both positive and negative aspects. There are serious concerns over the long-term effects of technology on young children’s social dynamics, societal norms, cognitive development, and interpersonal connections, but balancing the use to promote the benefits of technology.
Antithesis statement;
The influences of technology on younger children are legitimate concerns but it’s important to acknowledge the positive impact technology has on learning, creativity and connectivity but when it is used in balance and with proper guidance.
