Recently, thanks to technology development, we live our daily lives in a lot of convenience. For example, we do not need to visit market to buy things. instead if we call to tele-market or click on an web page of any market, we are able to get products easily. In addition, surprisingly, we can play physical activities in doors such as soccer, baseball and even swim using various media. Some people are happy with these conveniences and new source of fun. On the other hands, I'm worried about drawbacks of technology development, especially, it's bad effect deviating children's creativity. There are several reasons to back up.
First of all, development of cyber leisures makes children not to go out for having physical activities anymore. On the other hand, children kill time with computer games or play-stations. It means that there are less opportunities for children to experience the world outside home. Actually, recent cyber world includes huge amount of contents like real world, but things in cyber world can not be same as the real ones. For example, if a child meets flowers through television for the first time, but he will never know it's fragrance until experiencing flowers in the real world. Naturally children are being lack of all the knowledges and this fact will keep them from thinking deeply. Therefore there is no doubt that it will prevent children to enhance their creativity.
In addition, childrens are getting lazy to think or calculate by themselves.The world of today is so called information world, that is, we can get informations very easily. It makes children not to consider when they have any assinments. What they do is just looking for any sources from internet and modify it skillfully and make it being seen as their own masterpieces or calculating mathmatics using electric calculator. The thing is that early ages under 10 is the most appropriate time for them to learn very basic knowledges. However nowadays, children do not really accept that much things and exploit their skill for mathmatics. Let's say, they are being a kind robot which can do just searching the internet or just using technology machine and they hardly think by their own way.
Moreover, there is another points which discourages children to create something. That is the point that nowadays we can very easily obtain vast amount of informations and data. For example, a child come up with a interesting story by himself but he can be disappointed when he finds the same(or similar) one from the huge information ocean -internet-.
In fact, I can list up much more reasons for assisting bad effects of technology on creativity of children. As a matter of fact, it is not a problem of only children as well as only creativity. Technology development is harming a lot of abilities of human being. There fore I would like to assist that we always need to be alert toward convenience from technology and make our children do. |
