During the last 10 years or so, there has been a technological revolution; on this revolution the vast majority of the youth in MEDCs have entry to the internet, a video games console, and a cell phone. However are these devices as great as they appear or are they too good to be true?

The Internet

The advantages of the internet are fairly apparent, it connects billions of users worldwide and man doesn't ever need to wonder about anything ever once more, any piece of information is just a search away. Nevertheless the immense positive results of it usually act as a smokescreen and canopy up the cons of the internet.

It is by no means been easier for pedophiles to get in contact with young children, cyber bullying is way too widespread, viral scams which con users out of appreciable amounts of money are omnipresent and young kids are uncovered to deeply disturbing photographs/video. While most parents can be reluctant to let their baby troll round a crimson gentle district, the internet can in lots of instances be like one. Oh and the excessive amounts of time some customers choose to spend on it, neglecting other commitments.

Verdict -Though evidently i have a distaste for the web, I do not, I like the internet; what I'm making an attempt to say is that users ought to be careful on-line and be aware of the scams and explicit materials on there. The web is a fabulous resource but customers shouldn't let their guard down online.

Video games

Most teenagers in my faculty have a video games console, and play on it regularly. For the vast majority this is simply an satisfying passion and so they put schoolwork and different duties before it. Though for a select few, after getting home, it's gaming, consuming and then a late mattress time. For these few, in recreation achievements are a substitute for actual life ones and every thing else takes a again seat. They are prone to spend minimal time on homework, unlikely to take part in different additional-curricular actions and get little sleep which immediately impacts on their efficiency at school. Because of this, they're going to probably not achieve their full potential and remorse it in a while of their life.

Verdict -Gaming is normally a safe and pleasurable previous time but we must always be sure it is just a passion and doesn't take over our lives.

Cellular Telephones

Mobile phones generally is a lifeline for nagging mother and father who consistently wish to know the place their little one is and permit people to have near instantaneous communication from opposite ends of the globe. The downside is that they may or nor could not cause brain tumours (we are not fairly positive yet) and in youth culture, something called 'sexting' has advanced which includes a young person sending someone else an illicit picture of themselves; as soon as this image is out there, it is near impossible to destroy it.

Verdict -For my part, cellphones are not any immanent drawback and their pros far outweighs their cons. I probably wouldn't give a cell phone to my young hypothetical youngster because of the uncertainty of the health dangers they pose however I'd not hesitate in giving one to a accountable teenager due to their usefulness in an emergency situation.

Don't worry the web, games consoles or cell phones, respect them.
