TECHNOLOGY NEGATIVELY IMPACTS YOUTH
Technology brings more harm than good, especially on youth. Technology is negatively affecting America's youth because it is destroying social skills and causing a dependency on constant stimulation.
Technology negatively impacts youth because it destroys their social skills. Ortega reports that the overuse of technology is causing children to lose their ability to read body language and facial cues, resulting in an inability to keep up casual conversations or engage in the art of small talk (Bindley, 2011, p. 2). Also, technology causes the youth to depend on constant stimulation. Dr. Sigman, a leading child psychologist, explains that dopamine, a chemical in the brain that makes us feel reward, is released when children view electronic devices, and then goes on to say that "this dopamine being produced every single day for many years, through for example playing computer games, may change the reward circuitry in a child's brain and make them more dependent on-screen media" (Kelly, 2012, p. 2).
Technology is destroying children's social skills and causing a dependency on constant stimulation. In order to avoid the frightening ramifications, changes must be made in our youth and in the way this country raises their children.
