A good friend

Really, is technology a good component of our lives and our children's lives? In my opinion, technology gives us a lot of advantages but not for children development . They need interaction with people, not with machines!!! Do you agree or disagree?

  1. This is a broad and complex subject, but current and necessary, so I tried to read and understand. We live in age when the science and technology develops at a great speed. The author of the book dedicates her efforts and researches to explain how this process interacts with the people of different
    generations, how to adapt the school to prepare the children for the future, what will the workers and the workplaces of the future look like. A thought-provoking, careful, revolutionary, updated point of view.

  2. It’s an interesting article. I’ve got children and I often ask me all these kind of things. How it does affect them so many hours dealing with technology. But I think these new forms of communication are nowadays part of our lives. So the effort consists in finding the equally.

    I totally agree with the idea that the older generations feel overwhelmed by technology, and we often think that it can be harmful because we are not used to it. That’s why, in my opinion. the best way to educate our children or the new generations is teaching them about judgment.

  5. I have the idea that evolving our education system to reflect the changes in our childrens is a good thing, but sometimes I feel we're training our kids to be consumers ,not thinkers.It's true , learning requires focus , concentration,...but maybe video games ,the Internet... ( or technology in general) would be a good tool if you know how to use it.Nowadays I'm working with children and it's hopeful that their favorite toys are balls , jump ropes , ...or just play with their friends or listen to a tale from the lips of their parents.
