A response to Brenda Trieu's post.
"With technology advancing, the prices for these
devices decrease, making it more affordable to obtain for kids."
When I
was a little girl, all I ever played with were board games, computer games Game
Boy’s, and other type of games, as Brenda mentioned. Technologies were never needed
much in my opinion. The only technologies I grew mainly grew up with were
cameras and computers. I never had a cell phone and what not; I didn’t see the
point of having one. In fact, I didn’t even get a cell phone until I was in 7th
grade. I was pretty much satisfied with
what I had. These days, all I ever use are advancing technologies. I check up
on my phone every few minutes and I’m using my iPod at this very moment. It’s basically
impossible to separate me with my phone.
But this isn’t just me; many other kids/ teenagers find my situation relevant
to them. Now everywhere I go, I’d see someone hooked on some sort of
technology. Kids these days own iPods, iPads, phones, etc.
I know
many of my friends’ younger siblings can work all these advance technologies. I
just recently started babysitting this girl, Sophia, who’s a 4th
grader. The second time I’ve seen her, she asked to see my phone and texted
someone. Many people who ask for my
phone has no idea how to work it, but she on the hand, knew. She spelled
everything perfectly, did all the spaces, capitalizing, symbols, and characters
correctly. Someone that’s around my age can’t even do all that with my phone,
but she could. When I was her age, all I ever knew was to call people with my
mom’s phone. I think kids are starting with technologies too young and soon
enough, all they’ll rely on are technologies.
