Sometimes, children even teach their parents how to make use of some electronic gadgets and how to access so sites on the internet.
NEGATIVE EFFECT OF TECHNOLOGY ON OUR CHILDREN
Because of technology, many children spend most of their times playing video games, watching television and using other gadgets at their disposal without considering the facts that they have school works or other house chores to do.
Children who are addicted to browsing the internet have the possibility of being exposed to many hazardous contents such as drug use, unprotected sex, constant intake of alcohol, smoking, and bullying which might lure them into engaging in some nasty behavior that will end up endangering their future both physically, mentally or otherwise. In these modern days, there are many sites created specifically for adult; when children access these sites, they try to practice what they see on it, believing that it is good for them since they got it from the internet.
In situation where Children spend more time on the internet, playing video games, watching television, etc, they find it really difficult to socialize or spend time with their age mates because they have seen the technologies they are exposed to as their friend and companion, sometimes, they find it difficult to leave these gadgets and welcome their Parents when they get back to the House.
