In the article of “Students who use digital devices in class ‘perform worse in exams’, I can relate to because it talks about the causes of having a laptop or tablet in class and how it effects your grade. When I was in middle school everyone had laptops and every time the teacher would lecture us we wouldn’t pay attention everyone would be on Facebook, YouTube, etc. Then, the time when the quizzes and tests came up we would do poorly and we had no one to blame but ourselves. After that, when I went into high school we didn’t use any laptops, so I started to focus more when the teacher would lecture us. Then I started to see improvements on my tests so that’s when I started to realize that I work better when I don’t use any electronics during class.
In the article,”Technology's Negative Impact on Teens,” By Ashley M, It says, “everyday an average teen spends eight hours a day on electronic devices.” This is bad because, it's isolating teens from the outside world. Social Media is having a bad impact on teens these days. Cyber bullies are on social media and can make people’s feelings hurt, and make them go through depression and stress. Teens grades are suffering because they could get distracted when they are trying to study when their phone goes off, also studies show that teens academic skills are dropping in language.
It is easy to click on different games, apps and easily access the web. Sometimes students may even click on inappropriate things. This could lead to even more negative affects of technology. The positive affects of school’s technology is that people
Sue Honoré, an independent learning consultant who has studied people who were born from 1982 to 2002 has that “while young people are "undoubtedly capable of long periods of concentration", those who spend a lot of time alone using technology tend to have less in the way of communication skills, self-awareness and emotional intelligence”. It has been proven that around 31 nations that students who used computers everyday in class had lower test scores in reading and math than students who don’t use them as much (Study: Students Who Use in School Doesn’t Help Test Scores). Though technology is amazing and has given so many people different opportunities they would’ve never had before it is resulting in a few bad habits for students. Casey Schools systems around the United States have begun to rely on technology to teach their students instead of teachers to teach them. According Michael Godsey, a veteran high-school English educator, even said and agreed with many people today that we are at the point in time where since we have the internet at our fingertips, there is really no need for teachers
So it is lead to forgetting the basic way of learning. For example, when the teacher gives students homework they are turning to use of technological devices to search for the answers, rather than return to the main book. On the other hand, we can use the tablet devices in a good way to avoid all these defects, by observing teachers or the parents for their children and students and put some guidance of using tablets, such as placing the appropriate time. Also, the families can close some apps which are unwanted. (Peter, 1997,
The twenty-first century is known by many different names: The Common Era, The Era of Technology, The Knowledge Era, etc. Regardless of the diversity in epithets, they all highlight a higher standard of intelligence and common sense that are possessed by the people living in this time. These people are raised to adapt to a technological and innovative lifestyle. Yet, all of the conveniences granted by the Internet and social media are gradually showing “symptoms” of negative effects. As technology becomes more advanced, people have high expectations for it.
Since the beginning of mankind, the human brain has proven to be the most complex and essential organ that we possess. Over decades, centuries, and millenniums; the biology of the human brain has changed and adapted in order to keep up with the ever improving and growing complexity of technology. Technology provides information at the ease and speed of a click and as a response we developed the need for the same speed of reaction and comprehension in our brains. Today, more than ever, we have a bigger need to achieve the highest efficiency in the shortest amount of time, to multi-task between activities and different technology, as well as a complete new means of communication that was unimaginable 100 years ago. Technology has affected biology immensely.
Students can use technology for research, play educational games, learn from different areas around the world, etc. Yes, little usage of technology does benefit a child’s success. Nevertheless, most students spends too much time on their devices and is most likely going to get addicted to it. Technology is fun, but it leads to procrastination and eventually failing in class. Even though technology very useful to use, relying on it would not be a good idea.
Literature Review There are various studies that shows the effects of the use of technology on teenagers. Several studies show the positive effects of the technological gadgets and services. Other studies reveal the negative effects of these technological products. Some of the studies have found both positive and negative effects of technology on teenagers. Positive Effects of Technology
The current study is the effects of exposure to technology on young children. As we become increasingly more reliant and absorbed in technology, it is no surprise that today’s children have become avid users as well (Hatch, 2011). Children at the age of three or four already have tablets, smart phones, and others; they could easily attain technologies and would even demand for one. As it makes easier for us, technology has both positive and negative impacts especially on young children. It comes with great opportunities but these opportunities likewise come with great risk
Many critics may argue and say that technology in education is dangerous. It can waste a students’ time by getting him or her sidetracked by distractions they find online. However when students avoid technology in education, they have to spend long hours, days, maybe even weeks searching for certain information in various different books. Students that really want to learn will force discipline upon themselves. Even if students didn’t use technology, anything could easily distract them when studying.
Technology in education can be linked to a number of drawbacks like dependency. This comes in unequivocally when people instigate to depend on computers and other forms of technology for everyday learning activity. This means that when there is a network breakdown, machine breakdown or a computer crashing no learning will take place unless the problem is resolved. This kind of dependency on technology puts people at a distinct disadvantage, because they become less
Many people can agree that the introduction of technology into society has impacted humans a lot. Kids are using cell phones, computers are used in schools. Technology is everywhere in people’s lives. But the true question is whether or not technology is ruining people. Starting from the fact that kids are getting less and less physical activity due to technology, technology also ruins social skills in people, and the fact that technology is very dangerous, technology is ruining people.
Some people said that the technology may cause many problems in the education fields for many reasons. As it was stated in occupytheory.org and other websites under the title of “Disadvantages of technology in education” Laziness in Studying Computers are done to make things easier on human so it may cause laziness on some students since they could find what they want by a click without researches. Forgetting the Basic Way of Studying Some people claims that student would not be using books anymore and they will forgot about how to study and do home works on organize their work. Discovering Unusual Things in the Computer Students are going to be using internet without monitoring them so they might discover many things that are wrong and may cause badly on them is the
