Our children and technology
I am not sure what to make of today’s fast moving world. Technology has become part of our children’s lives. They live it and they breathe it. Amazing how we want them to know how to use these gargets, yet most of the times they come back to bite us.
Our children are too exposed to things we never thought they were ready to be exposed to. Watching a violent or explicit video has become such an issue. Almost every child is exposed to adult material way before their maturity time. I sit and wonder what this advancement does to the innocence of our time. I wonder if their childhood can be enjoyed to the fullest. I respect that times are different and technology is the new thing, but we still have the right to be concerned as parents. Many children have been killed because of this technology, because of their innocent minds.
Yes I want my sons not to be left behind in terms of technology, but it’s also my responsibility to yield them from any harm this technology poses to them.
