The use of electronics will always be expanding throughout the world, because of the immense abilities of what our society has made available through technology. It is safe to say that technology has made our world what it is today. The growth of this has made technology use “saavy” for all age types. I think the idea of maximizing open communication is the idea we should stick to because in all reality, it’s the parents or guardian’s job who expose these children to these types of technology. It’s like when the woman sued McDonald’s when her coffee gave her severe burns when she accidentally spilled it on herself. It’s not McDonald’s fault for providing the coffee, it’s the woman’s fault for spilling HOT coffee on her. This idea holds true with the idea of technology and it’s influence on our society. We shouldn’t blame the production of new and innovative ideas for the lack of parental control or percussions we choose to take in our lives. Although parents might point their finger at the media, I think it’s their responsibilities to monitor their children. I know when I have children, I will be aware of what my children are exposed to.
I understand that positive media can often turn into negative things, but we shouldn’t ignore the fact of the potential of modern media that can enhance our children’s future.
