Elementary Kids

In the world today, elementary children face are faces with dealing with technology.  Technology is very helpful in schools.  Many elementary students have T.Vs, Xbox, PS3s, computers, and even some are getting cell phones.  Some of the things shown on T.V and on the internet young children should not see.  Many of these kids know a lot of things they should not know at this age by just seeing it on their T.Vs.  I know when I was at this age I didn't know half the things they know today.  By them playing Xbox and PS3 games, I do not think it is harmful for them but their parents should know what type of games their children are playing.  I also think it is ridiculous for a child in elementary school to have a cell phone they simply have no need for one at that age.  Technology is a great thing to happen to the world, but it can be used for the wrong reasons and get people into trouble.

  1. I totally agree with you. Whenever i go onto xbox live and play M games like call of duty there is always a kid that you know is very young and just starts cussing. Parents should watch what their kids play and not shove the balme onto the companies because kids can not buy rated M games (need to be 18 years old to buy M games) which means and adult had to pay for it and the lable is right in the front and not missable. I have a friend who little brother is in elemtary and has a cellphone while I at the time didn't and see no need for it either at that age.

  2. I agree. These things also lead to a sense of entitlement in young children, creating, for lack of a better term, spoiled brats. A lot of video games also cause kids to develop anger problems, and, if they spend all their free time on them, it decreases social skills.

  4. Totally agree. Technology can be very helpful in school when used the right way. Young kids though I think would rather use the technology as a device to have fun on and not as a learning device because most kids now a days, all they do is basically play video games.

  5. I agree that video games can influence a kid too much when ever I play a more popular game like call of duty or halo I always here little kids on there talking about things that are way too inappropriate for kids their age.
