  • "Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers."-Socrates
  • Fifty-four percent of teens send text messages, and one third of teens send more than 100 text messages per day. One third talk face-to-face with friends, around the same percentage that talk on cell phones (38 percent) and land lines (30 percent). Twenty-four percent communicate with friends via instant messages. Twenty-five percent contact friends via social networking sites. Eleven percent use e-mail.

  • kids aren't likely to see friends face-to-face, or even get phone calls
  • But many teens get text messages
  • Some teens send and receive hundreds of texts after 11 p.m.
  • More time on social media means less time on other activities, including academics.
  • BullyingBullying peaks during the middle school years, and online bullying carries its own set of heightened risks and considerations. Kids tend to be more likely to engage in bullying over the Web because it's harder to have empathy for your victim when you're not face-to-face with him or her. In online bullying, there is generally no audience who might rein in a bully by saying, "Hey, lay off." Others aren't aware of the bullying comment or action until after it has been posted for all to see. Adults can't overhear or witness what's happening when the perpetrator is alone in his or her room in front of a computer.

  • What are some of the side effects of technology?
  • A limited use of gadgets can be quite useful for children as it will allow them to be up to date with the current technology. However, the overuse of these advancements can really hamper or even damage their development in the personal growth, communication and educational department.
  • These days, children indulge themselves in internet, games or texting. These activities have affected their psyche negatively, consequently leading to increased frustration. Now they get frustrated whenever they are asked to do anything while playing games or using internet. For instance, when their parents ask them to take the trash out, they get furious instantly. This behavior has shattered many parent-children relationships.

  • According to studies, tolerance in children is vanishing quite increasingly due to the improper use of technology. For example, children get frustrated quickly when they surf internet and the page they want to view takes time to load.
  • Due to the excessive usage of online chatting and shortcuts, the writing skills of today’s young generation have declined quite tremendously.
  • children are relying more and more on digital communication that they have totally forgot about improving their writing skills. They don’t know the spelling of different words, how to use grammar properly or how to do cursive writing.
  • Now, more and more people are interacting with others through different platforms like apps, role-playing online games, social networks, etc. This advancement has hampered the physical interaction skills of many children. Due to that they don’t know how to interact with others when they meet them in-person or what gesture they should carry.
