DISADVANTAGES OF TECHNOLOGY

Technology is shaping the world we live in today. Is it affecting everything positively? This is a question parents are asking to each other right now. Technology has complicated effects on children, with both benefits and cons. Here are some cons of using technology too much:

1. Sleeping problems: Excessive use of computers as well as watching TV affect sleeping habits and make falling asleep more difficulWDt for children.

2. Less family time: If children spend a lot of time on playing on computers or watching things on them, it cuts into the time they normally spend with their family.

3. Attention problems: Many studies show that too much screen time may cause difficulty in paying attention. This is the same forany electronic media.

4. Less physical activity: When children start spending their time sitting in front of a screen, they move less. It means less physical activity and higher risk of obesity.

5. School work: Children who spend most of their time in front of a screen have less time to do the school work. It results in lower grades at school and reading fewer books.
