According to the latest Kaiser Family Foundation data, 8- to 18-year-olds are spending more than 50 hours a week with digital media. That's more than a full work week.
Is this too much? Are kids today actually hurting themselves by using this much digital media? Why or why not?
I think that much of digital media is affecting kids today they are hurting themselves by playing games,talking to much on their cell phones,or on the computer all day
ReplyDeletei think this is ridiculis because that means they are one their phones more than 6 hours a day. these people that are on their phones this long will not no what to do when they get jobs that do not allow phones. i think that technology is now made to be addictive so more teens bye more games, new phones, new computers and other technology.
ReplyDeleteI think the digital media is affecting the people who spend more than 4 hours a day on the computer or their phone. There is no reason for people to be on the computer or their phone that long.
ReplyDeleteI am responding to Nick's comment. I disagree with him because i think as long as kids are not spending all hours of the day on computers and cell phones they will be fine. If you limit yourself to certain hours of the day it won't hurt you and it gives kids something to do and it's a way to keep them out of trouble. Would you rather have kids being addicted to computer games or out on the streets doing drugs? If they are spending to much time on the computer then that's when there is a problem but overall i don't think there is anything wrong with what's happening no with technology.
ReplyDeletethis is a resonce to nick-
ReplyDeleteGames and technology is addicting but there are some people just choose to have no life and not be social because of the fear of rejection. Im on my fone 95% of the day and i still have time to be with friends and go do everything else a normal teen should. I just slow down while with friends and only check my fone every few minutes. I know multitasking isnt suppose to be effective but i believe if you take your time while focusing on what your doing its very easy to do. And companies are making things so that you will buy more but how will they maake a profit if they dont make you wanna buy their product?
