In this article the author explains about her
children’s behavior towards modern gimmicks such as tablets and smartphones. She
is worried and blames herself of buying these gadgets for her children because
she is also fascinated with these gadgets. However, this mother of three also
expresses that these gadgets has its benefits also. One of the benefits is, is
that they are very educational. But she states that because of these gadgets
her children became strangers to her and her husband. Her children cannot live
without these gadgets and she does not know how to gain control over her
children’s behavior towards these gadgets.
First of all, I am not a fan of these gadgets
because I think these gadgets control peoples’ lives, especially children’s. If
it was for me I would do all my assignments the old school way, by hand. I
agree that it takes much more time and effort but to me it feels much more
original by doing everything by hand and conducting research by books rather
than on the Internet. In addition, children will not have the pleasure of
playing outside and have social interaction with their parents nor their
friends because they are engaged to these gadgets.

I do not care at al if there is even the slightest educational element in these things. I didn't have them when I was young, happy with pacman on the computer, and I was always pleying outsiede. If parents were more involved with their children and throw them outside to catch frogs and climb trees every once in a while, those kids get more education than with those stupid gadgets.
