Kids and Technology
There is big connection between kids and technology. We all know very well that a 7 year old kid understands about the technology better than a 40 years old person. Everything has become digitized in this modern era, and we and our kids stay in touch with all digital products. Although, we don’t get enough time for them in this busy life, which they spend with media and technology. We know that new technology helps them to develop socially and emotionally, but it is necessary to know what are they doing and of course, need to track their life too. They have been addictive to technology and don’t like to interact with real world.
