In this current times and age, children heavily rely on technology to do most of their activities and duties, unlike in the past, where children used to engage fully in other things. It is to imply that the kind of life that the children in this society live is sort of connected to technology thus limiting their creativity or imaginations. The above stems from the fact that the children have become so attached to technology and the technological advancements. To the effect that things such as television, internet and computers by extension have become part of the lives of the children. Similarly, the extensive amount of time in hours that the children spend sitting in front of computers adversely challenges their motor and sensory development (Azar, 2009).
It stems from the fact that the sensory organs of the child would be used to being stimulated thereby making slow the process of natural and low development. It is important to note and mention that technology retrospective possess a high speed hard wired circumstance where the child would struggle with self-regulation or attention techniques which are critical for education to occur. For instance, if the neurosensory organs of a child are not fully developed and mature enough then such a child is likely to suffer from attention deficit hyperactive disorder (Coser, 2012). One of the outright effects is restlessness that would be a challenge for the teachers during the learning process. Such restlessness would imply that natural learning process as an example and instance would be adversely affected. On a larger scale, the emotional stability of the child would be affected because the sensory hormones would not be balanced. It is needless to mention that such an imbalance is an adverse effect on the growth and development of the child as would have been caused by continued attachment to technology.
