Top 5 Positive Impacts of Technology on Children

  Introduction  

Most of you have observed that children love to spend their average time in modern electronic gadgets like electronic games, home computers, control devices, and new versions of gadgets. And you may agree with the statement that 'Gadgets gained popularity among children and likely among elders.' In this case, we can't force our children to keep themselves out of this. The 2013 Daily mail report stated that 29% of the kids (1-2 years) could easily use modern technologies, and the remaining 70% had mastered them by primary school age. Really Surprising! According to the Jamaica Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, an intermediate child spends about 8 hours a day watching electronic screens. So, isn't Technology having some positive impact on our life? Let's see how these advanced gadgets can help children explore their creativity and knowledge. This blog presents the top five impacts of gadgets on children positively.  

  

The Positive Impact of Gadget   

Children have Better Motor Skills:   

Motor skills involve specific movements of the body's muscles to act on a certain task. These skills involve small body movements like fingers, lips, and eyes. That's why children follow games on a tablet or any other electronic gadget. Since Technology helps children in reflexive actions, Jamaica Electronic Stores encourage the kids to interact with updated technologies. Using advanced electronic keypads or other handheld devices, kids have no risk of any injury or threat compared to physical activities. As a result, it becomes easy for children to use their hand moments very efficiently in a short time.  

Improved Cognitive Skills (Brain-Based Skills):   

These skills involve kids' thinking ability, like memorizing the situation and relating it with the other activities. Visually observing the videos can be directly linked to memory and language. Nowadays, Jamaica electronic companies are helping education departments by providing updated Technology in schools for faster and better growth of cognitive skills in kids. Games like puzzles, scribbling on A4 size paper, everything can now be done on a tablet. Not only this, interactive apps, video games, challenging tasks, and educative programs are easily available due to advanced technologies. Such products continuously help to improve a kid's cognitive skills, and their understanding skills develop faster as they are more curious about gadgets than books.  

More Fun for Children:  

Technology seems to be fun for children while they use it. They enjoy playing puzzles online with some good sound effects. Whether it's a car racing or candy crush, they always have fun and are easily able to react according to the situation. Thus, electronic gadgets help them understand the aspects of effect, action, and reaction. Not only this, the sound effects help children in advanced learning as they enjoy learning online more than older book methods.  Technology has been confirmed to be very helpful in educating students. 

 

Educating Young Ones:  

Students have elevated towards educational websites and can get detailed information about their subjects. Technology makes things better as it has piles of study material uploaded that can be easily extracted for their study purposes. Students don't need to visit the library all the time. They can read books from anywhere. Visual presentations, training videos, interactive online meetings, learning tutorials, and various e-books are available on the internet. Thus, Jamaica electronics stores are taking advantage of revolutionized education in an incredible way by introducing updated learning gadgets. Educational games are the best way to help your kids to perform well in their studies. For example, they can have many online quizzes according to their class level, online tutorials if you want to learn from your home, and brainstorming riddles.   

Competition Skills:  

Nowadays, children are in love with video games, especially VR games. However, playing advanced video games with people around the globe always creates a feeling of competition and challenges. Thus, this feeling of competition enhances competition skills and helps kids balance themselves in a competitive environment.  

Wrapping up 

Everything is good if you use it positively or wrong if you use it negatively. It isn't easy to keep children away from devices, but we can limit their time by setting screen timing. Motivating children to use it in the educational field or study can drastically change their lives. It can help them to improve their skills. Constructively using gadgets can lead to healthier and more efficient minds. Unfortunately, as we see in Jamaica, Technology is lacking there, and it's costly to import—the approach is long and tedious. In addition, tech companies like Amazon and Flipkart don't deliver directly to Jamaican residents. That's why many Jamaica Electronics Store's Websites are now available from where you can buy electronic gadgets for your children.
