Topic :
Technology makes children less creative than they were in the past. | |
|
Many people say that technology advancement has made children nowadyas become less creative than the past. However, I believe that the technology has brought many children to become more creative than the past for the following two reasons: it has made children think actively and also offered children to do various activities.
When it comes to active thinking, there is nothing more influential than technology development. Although some might argue that it has made children think passively due to the media such as television or the internet; however, they may not deny the fact that these devices can be used beneficially for creative thinking. From watching documentary programs about history to searching usable information from the websites, these help children to think creatively. Having a creative mind requires lots of information and knowledge, and I think that this is offered through these materials. When I was a child I used to watch documentary programs about art on television. While watching programs on it, I saw many masterpiece of art. This had helped me to increase and improve a sense of art. I am now working in an art field, and watching many art programs through television ten years ago has helped me to be a creative person. If there had been no television set when I was young, I would have less creativity which is essential for my career.
Moreover, technology advancement has also brought an opportunity for children to do various activities. Some might argue that children have become less active due to devices offered for them to play with. Even though many children are addicted to the television or the computer games in these days, children have more options to enjoy their time. In my case, my parents took me and my sister abroad frequently. Watching diverse cultures as many as possible, and experiencing various peoples have helped me and my sister broaden perspectives of ours. This has also made us become creative by experiencing many cultures, since it influenced us to break limited and constraint perspectives. If an ariplane had not developed thanks to the technolgical advance, I would have a hard time to be creative in way of thinking.
To sum up, in terms of active thinking and various activities I believe that the technology has influenced children to become creative.

When I was a child I used to watch art history programs often from television. While watching programs on television I saw many famous art pieces. This had helped me to have a sense of art by offering visual effects. On the other hand, before the development of tv book was the most previous source of delivering information. It has no visual effect unlike television, which immensely influences for one’s creativeness. If there had been no television set when I was young, I would have less developed creativity on art which is related with my future job.
Moreover, technology advancement has also brought an opportunity for children to do various activities. Some might argue that children have become less active on doing many activities than the past, because of many devices invented for them to play with. Even though many children are addicted to the television or the computer games in these days, children have more options to enjoy their time. For instance, my cousin do msn messenger with her Japanese friend. She usually spends her free time on chatting with her friend through the messenger. This has been available due to the development of technology of the increased functions of the internet.
