Millennial children in this generation receive smart phones and have a vast knowledge of the internet all before the age of ten. Little do these children know, technology is shaping the way they think and perceive the world. Scientists are finding that technology has substantial effects on children’s cognitive processes and developmental skills. It can
to the home, the computer is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool. Our computer technology has been undergoing significant improvement over years. Modern technologies such as computers, cameras and mobile phones which are already on the market since early 20th century are not the same as its now. On every aspect, such as function and capabilities, it is the things that bring the development of computer and technology from 1980 to 2014.The word computer itself means an electronic device for storing
Technology is quickly becoming one of the most utilized resources used by man today. It is not only advancing at an exponential rate, but is also being personified throughout numerous domains across our society.

Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development Applied to Teaching Technology Erik Erikson believed that individual development takes place in a social context. He believed that development is a lifelong process. His theory contains eight stages of development that occur at different points in an individual’s life. At each stage, the individual has, what he coined as, a developmental crisis. Developmental crises are issues in the stage that must be dealt with in order to move on to the next
importance of technology in sustainability development Human and technology can be considered to be inseparable now, however with the environmental condition that is getting worse and worse, technology seems to give a big impact on causing climate change. Still, studies suggest that we can turn technology to be an alternative to save the planet, which we called it as green technology. But in the other hand, technology is also bringing damage to the environment. So how does green technology work? And
of technological advances being made every day, it comes without surprise that the children of today’s modern world are being accustomed to the use of technology. These rapid advances in technology come with their advantages and disadvantages as many children become absorbed into extended periods of usage with minimal parental intervention. Technology is a modern privilege that allows the world to communicate and interact on scales never seen before. The use of portable devices, such as cell phones
of entertainment technology (Rowan).Various studies have been conducted based on the controversial topic of the impact of technology on a child’s development.

have developed tools and technologies to improve our way of life. Whether it be irrigation canals or satellites, human beings have strived to make societal functions efficient and precise. But how did modern technology come about? I believe that modern technology improved on some of the basic technological elements that the ancients have left us. I will be concentrating on recordkeeping and long distance communication, and with this I will be talking about the development of the alphabet, cuneiform
