Parents have the unnecessary want to snoop through their teenagers social media accounts. Technology, like smart phones, tablets and computers allow connections to “apps” like Instagram, Snap Chat, kik, askfm and facebook. Because teens sometimes seem constantly distracted by this social media, parents feel left out and isolated as there is less open face-to-face conversation. Because of this parents feel as if going onto their social media accounts will act as their guide into their teenagers life once again. But the question is whether parents should shave the right to check their teens social media accounts.
Criticizing people for being too passive in their convictions is not an uncommon complaint in this day and age, especially of young people. In fact, common disparagements of youth mirror Postman’s description of Brave New World almost perfectly. Postman writes of Huxley’s vision, “People will come to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think,” just as adults often say their children would rather text than have a real conversation, or go on Facebook than read a book. The complaint is not without validity, but it seems unfair to lay all the blame on Generation Y. The parents and grandparents of those disinterested teenagers and yuppies come from a generation that burned its draft cards and protested racism,
Minors will be so eager to get it that they could download it from a computer. So there is no point of the sticker if they can get it one way or the other. Record companies won't make as much money. Most people that hear these explicit lyrics are minors. So the majority won't but the
Positives with the Internet and Growing Up The youth generation today uses the internet so much in their daily lives it has created an epidemic. The epidemic caused uproar of different ways of learning, communicating, teaching and even shopping or advertising done online. Technologies such as ipad, laptops and smart phones make internet access unbelievably easy. Since it is so easy, “Growing up Online”, a document by Frontline that aired on Januarary 18, 2008, claimed that the internet has caused many issues in the youth’s lives. One problem the internet caused stated in the documentary is, it is very hard for parents and authorities to regulate what kids do on the computer.
Teenagers of America are obsessed with social networking sites and online gaming. Literally right this second thousands of little kids are becoming obese from little to no physical activity in their daily lives. Parents aren’t helping the matter either, whether it’s because they’re uninformed or they just don’t care about getting their children involved; they aren’t doing their jobs as parents of America. This is not teaching their children to grow up to be incredible leaders of our country. According to source A, “Community Service embodies experiential learning, locating a moral center, community health, because it is about empowerment and making the world a better place…” Yet, each day kids are becoming lazier and lazier because they don’t understand the importance of volunteer work and community service.
Most students who are allowed to use cell phones use them for social media, and recreational apps, distracting to the point of the whole educational system; learning.. Instead of being used as educational tools, cell phones are used by students as a source of distraction and not for the academic uses they have, and students do not listen even after they are told to stop, and given rules and guidelines about what is allowed to be done on the cell phones (Kiema, Kinjo, 2015). Cell phones will end up as another classroom distraction to students without administration, so students can decide not to pay attention whenever they want and continue to talk to each other on social media. 2 On the topic of communication between students, cell phones are also the facilitator of cheating on tests between students, and they are usually also used for plagiarism, when students take an author’s work and call it their own. Students can easily use text messaging features of a cell phone to share test answers, silently and undetectable by the teacher in most cases
He thinks the students should be taught interpersonal intelligence and learn when, where, and what kind of internet usage is appropriate. Also in his essay it’s pointed out that many students are addicted to Facebook which tally’s 250 million hits everyday and ranks 9th in overall traffic over the internet. That kind of social networking affects all forms of academe. Additionally, online communities have a lot of factious information. It’s easy for a person to create a factitious profile and use these anonymous profiles.
The new social media has brought people together from different parts of the world, despite their differences and views on the world. In today’s society, there are more and more people using the internet so the social
We in the world today don’t realize what we are missing while we have our noses buried into our smartphones. We are so tuned into what we want everyone to know and what is going on in everyone’s lives that they want us to know, no one connects on a more personal level anymore. Parents are too busy on their phones to look at the trick their child is showing them, your popularity status is based on how many twitter followers you have, and heaven forbid anyone have a real conversation anymore without the phrase “LOL” somehow included. And that is why I believe the rapid advancement of technology in our society is
They are popular and are being advertised everywhere, making teenagers willing to play them; the fact that are they marked by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) does not help much. However, considering the nature of such games, they should not be allowed for teens to play. For the human brain, there is no big difference between a real-life situation, and an imaginary one; this is why we get upset even if we just think about something unpleasant. For children and teens, which usually have a rich imagination, everything is even more intense. Virtual experiences for them may feel as real as their daily life; this happens due to advanced technologies, making computer graphics look extremely close to reality, and also because players take a first-person role in the killing process (often with the view “from a character’s eyes”).
