Climbing out from the bed and walking toward the baby bedroom zombie-like at three a.m. in the morning to take care of the crying babies, it must be the most difficult thing to do for all parents. However, when they stand next to the cribs and watch their babies going back to sleep with the most innocent faces in the world, they feel all their hard work becomes worth it. As for recent generation, people, mostly teenagers, tend to practice the same situation a lot earlier in a different method. Every day from one to five in the morning, when the sun still decides not to show up, it is one of the most active periods for these electronic “babies” or devices throughout the day. As loud as the high pitch metallic sound, it is their “natural instincts” to “scream” as loud as possible until their “parents” slowly pick them up and take good care of them. With a couple taps and soft swipes with their thumbs, the “parents” help their “babies” to quiet down, softly place them on the bed and fall back to sleep with a quick smile on their faces. Other than that, the “parents” also pay much attention to their “babies” during the day because they worry about their “babies” so much, and they have to keep them safe by holding them tightly with their hands and check for their “conditions” every two or three minutes. However, even though it is so difficult and time consuming for these “parents” to take care to their “babies”, none of them ever feel tired of doing this because they are the most important treasures for their “parents” while they have to check if their “babies” are fine and secure even though they are having a monthly family meeting. Even though teenagers are spending most of their time during the day on their electronic devices, it ... ... middle of paper ... ...em such as environment protection, they can all be solved with using of electronic devices. With one little tap and swipe, people can ignore all the annoying suggestions of parents should set password or time limit to their children’s devices to let them explore and experience the world a little more or other complaints such as people should stop buying electronic devices to their children for no reason because using electronic devices is a waste of life time, and they can start saving the world. Therefore, the habit of constantly using electronic devices is not a deadly disease while it will not turn people into zombie, so people should not be afraid of it and think about making vaccine of it, maybe until the artificial intelligence decides to rebel; however, they should rather get a closer look at them, so they will be able to discover the actual beauties of them.
“Get off your phone.” “I’m taking that laptop away.” Many children have dealt with their parents barging into their rooms and telling them to get off their electronics. Parents believe it is not healthy and therefore should be restricted. The two articles, “Blame Society, Not the Screen Time” by Dana Boyd and “Don’t Limit Your Teen’s Screen Time” by Chris Bergman, both talk about how parents should not limit their kid’s screen time. Both authors are writing to parents of children who they think spend way too much time on their electronics. However, Dana Boyd has a much better compelling argument for not restricting teenager’s screen time. Boyd has a much better appeal to both audiences. She manages to employ better uses of both pathos and logos
She analyses how her data collections began to change around 2012, when smartphones really began to advance. Twenge’s article maintains the argument that, while many people have different ideas about the cause for the change in teen attitudes in recent years, she believes that smartphones are greatly to blame. To support her claim, Twenge states that the rates of depression have “skyrocketed” (p. 61) (Pathos). She also says that “There’s not a single exception …. screen activities are linked to less happiness” (p. 63) (Logos). Lastly, Twenge states “In all my analyses of generational data- some reaching back to the 1930’s- I had never seen anything like it” (p. 59)
Although Though technology can be good, it can be worse than good, such as people always with their faces on their phones and headphones in their ears, people neglecting books and using more online text, and people wasting their lives watching TV.Children now know how to use a phone faster than they can
Think about the future, even now children and young adults can 't live without their iPhones, iPads, consoles and other pieces of technology. However, it 's not only teens and children that are practically addicted to their tech, businessmen/woman and anyone that works for a business or a company, small or big, are on their computers,
Everyone has seen that kid with music blasting basting out of his purple ear-buds, girl texting on her phone, and the teen on their phone communicating with society. As a fellow teen, in my daily life, I use technology constantly. Either in school or outside of school. I feel teens rely on today’s technology to heavily that it may be having harmful affects on teens. The youth of today are constantly engaged in technological advancements. technology promote nonstop communication and instant gratification. whether through cell phones, gaming systems, laptops, or i pods. are these technological advancements a good thing? The growth of technology has negatively influenced the social interactions of today's youth because it isolates individuals from reality, hinders communication, and effects the teens learning ability.
Recent polls have gathered that 22% of teenagers access their favorite social media website at least ten times a day, while more than half of teenager visit more than twices within a day. Over 70% of teenagers own some form of cell phone, 56% using them for texting on a daily basis. As such, many teenagers hold this social interaction as "very important" or "crucial" in their...
Teens may be technologically savvy, important in a culture reliant on technology, but have fewer skills in dealing with real people. The economic divide pushes those without financial means further from those with internet access and the latest gadgets. How did we survive as teenagers without cell phones and texting? Increasing reliance on e-communication puts those unable to avail themselves of technology at greater disadvantage as they enter adulthood and the workforce. Nevertheless, these problems are not confined to the youth of the world.
Times have changed and due to this new technological era that we live in, children are spoiled with various types as well as numerous electronic devices. Although these advances are rewarding, they are detrimental to the youth. From xbox to television watching children spend more time trapped in their house, t...

Cell phones have crept into an owner’s possession at all times. “The mobile phone has become a part of us: our best friend who will save all our secrets, pleasures and sorrows” ("Exploring"). Teens have developed the need to know the latest news on social media every minute of every day; they do not want to miss any little detail. Since the beginning of smart phones, high school students have felt the need to have their media open on their smart phone in front of them so they do not feel empty. Once someone has become attached or addicted to something, it is hard to change their habits. Cell phones have changed people socially, especially with the availability to social media with electronics.
A beautiful commercial, “Disconnect to Connect”, which was made by Thailand DTAC Company, shows that there are many people always focusing on their cell phones. The commercial shows a man ignoring his girlfriend who is walking with him on the beach, another man neglecting his friends who are playing piano, and a father overlooking his children who are playing around. Then, they smile and find the happiness of life after they turn off their digital devices. These things happen constantly around us every day. Nowadays, the functions of digital devices are stronger, and our eyes and fingers contribute more time on it. There is no doubt that the digital devices make our life more convenient and easier because people can connect with each other immediately. Nonetheless, people should not spend too much time on digital devices for three main reasons: having less face-to-face communication, depriving people’s brains of needed downtime, and negatively influencing people’s health.
Smartphones have become a problem in today’s generation especially for adolescences that has shown a decline in focus and intellect in the past few years. Although smartphones are created to help make communication easier, they also affect youth’s performance and productivity in school, in their workplace, home, and their communication with adults. Other teenagers use social media to express their feelings online and to release their anger and stress. Most of the time, when teenagers reveal too much on the internet, violence and rumours can take place afterwards, which results in arguments and misunderstandings. The youth today feel as if they cannot live without their smartphones and without access to the internet. They have become highly dependent on their smartphones and this has changed the way youth interact with adults. The advancement of smartphones has negatively impacted youth’s social relationship with their teachers, employers and their parents.
