Parenting Under the Influence of Technology

In 2013, an estimated 91% of American adults have some form of mobile phone, 58% of whom were smartphone users (Smith). Unlike its predecessors, smartphones are not limited to voice-based communications. Instead, they offer infinite unlimited information and entertainment at your fingertips. There is no doubt that smartphones are indispensable for daily life in the United States. Most of these smartphone users are also parents of infants.

Parents also question the positive impact of technology on children. 72% of parents are concerned about the child's technical use and the impact on children. Parents' interests include screen time consumption, inappropriate content, and health status ("technical use"). Some of these problems are ridiculous At the beginning of this article they have been proven to be wrong before. Parents need to be aware that the World Wide Web is always safe and adequate. Another disadvantage of child's skills is communication. You can use smartphones and other technologies to connect with family and friends who are far away. There are reasons why families and friends far away live far away. It is not because we have what they know from the existence of people that children have never seen before. Therefore, it is meaningless to use technology to contact faraway friends and family.

People are affected at every stage of life. But my generation has not been affected so much. We are influenced by friends, teachers, parents, and new information technology. One person has a big influence on others. It is very nice to help our thinking and the choices we make. The next generation is most affected by our generation. We are very grateful to our friends for what we did and what we said about us. My parents know this, it is probably why they told us not to chat with the crowd. But the influence of our friends may be the most dangerous and important support that we may have. They may become friends during our lifetime.
