technology sure has come a long way. especially with kids in this generation. during our time us kids would normally just be playing in the streets with our neighbors or going to the park. we enjoy spending our time outside our houses during the afternoons. we could play basketball, patintero, hopscotch, piko, jump rope, roller blades and plenty more. we get a normal exercise and it would be a lot of fun. it takes our parents time to make us come into our houses.
but these days, so many kids have computer games, play stations,. psp's and cellphones. these days when kids get home from school they'd go straight to their computers and you won't be able to drag them away. even at school, during their breaktime you would see kids playin with their psp's or gameboys. the most interesting part is that children at this age already have their own cellphones. when i was a child i never had one and i didn't care if i had one. practically all the people i need to contact to come outside to play would be on the same street as i am.
even teenagers these days use their allowances that is supposed to be used for buying their food or in case of emergencies to pay the computer shop where they could play computer games. a lot of parents would be wondering why these kids are taking so long to get home from school and it's because they're playing DOTA.
most kids don't get the exercise that we used to get before because for them it is a lot more fun to stay home and play with their computers instead of go out and converse with their friends. kids can find them selves lonely at school when all they do is go home straight and play on the computer instead of play with their schoolmates.
even though these things are happening, we cannot blame technology for technology has done a great deal for everybody. it is very useful and helpful. i think that it is up to the parents and how they want their child to grow up. if they think that their child is spending too much time infront of the computer then they should be able to make them stop and do something else.

I guess one of the biggest concerns of older people is that children today are missing out on an important part of their childhood.
Studies do show that people that exercise regularly and have an active lifestyle are healthier than those who don't kaya I feel that it's important for parents to encourage their children to go out and play instead of sulking in front of their computers.
Oww Yup! Though technology seems to be better and more fantastic for everyone's convenience amd welfare,I think it is always under the resposibility of the parents or whoever capable to manipulate these kids into utilizing such gadgets in a better way and so they can also spend time for physical engagements. Technology can never be bal;emd or be responsible for the eradication of outdoor games and physical activities that used to be the center of every kids playtime. Before the tv came ou books were the all time home enetertainment system which is very good cause people get to stimulate their cognition through reading but the tv came and so diminished a huge fraction of people who reads and so lessening their time for the cognitive activity of reading but peoplke still goes back to the books for that unique essence of learning and I think until to day physical actvities are still and will always be evident because there will be no substitute for actual/physical games.
sorry po sa typo error..Blamed pala yun not bal;emd
