THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION DEVICES ON CHILDREN’S DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Technology devices today are diverse and attractive to people of all ages. They provide
convenience, connectivity, entertainment, and meet work-related needs. However, these devices can also
impact time and health when individuals spend too much time on them, or are overly attracted to the
information channels they offer. What is most concerning is that for children, especially during their rapid
developmental stages, direct attention from adults is crucial for providing love and emotional exchange.
This interaction helps children develop proper language skills, behavior in communication, and in their
living environment.
