From the new technology, cellphones, television, computers, children use it, there is no doubt about it, they live with these. Children are passing way too much time on these devices. How would they be if they passed only one day without it?
Adolescence lives depend on their electronic device, when entering high school, almost everybody has a cell phone or an iPod. A recent study from Kraiser Family Foundation demonstrates that children spend more time on their electronic device then they spend at school. Adolescents even use it when they are at school when they are at school! When they are at home, they use into talk with their friends, when they are with their friends, they can't let it go. They where born and raised using it, therefore, if you ask them to let it go, it might be difficult for them. They have never seen life without it, they are dependent of those. A day without it would be a challenge that could not be done, the truth is, if you take away their electronic device, most people will tell you they are bored and most likely ask it back.
Modern technology is in fact ruining childhood. Take a book, go play outside, these activites were common not even 10 years ago. As new technology arrived, it was a new world for the children, they don't want to do these activities, the games they play on their iPod is plenty of entertainement. If children were more outside and reading books, maybe their childhood wouldn't be ruined by modern technology.
