What is it the we think is happening around us between my generation and my dads generation to the generations of the teens that i see around here and there and everytime i leave the house it looks like kids are geeting hanged to technology to a point that is really so real that it feels that our life is hanged around a single AAA battery and that is really on my age i can say that its really depanded on a Lithum battery that they almost leave if it wasnt a long standed battery like the ones in the Ipod or Iphone and what is the prespration to a new socity of socialing from meeting people online in alot of millions of sites and blogs and social sites to having millions of friends and looking back to my generation since this is a comparission to my friends that i meet in high school and my college freinds.
okay lets go to a more structer i got this from google.com
Teens this generation spend more time on computers and game consules at a very growing paise that reached 6 hours per day and with soical sites building more and more barriers between teens and there elders like parents and siblings its becoming more hard to get connected and understand what your children and younger brothers are thinking off at the end in our time we had to talk to some1 from the house and in there case why should they since they can talk to someone from twitter and facebook that well listen to them Girls in particular are likely to chat online to their friends at night and 38% take a console to bed instead of a book.
Some parents who have stopped their children from having a TV in their bedroom for fear they will watch it too much have justified internet access on the basis that it will help with homework.
But the latest from market research agency ChildWise finds children and young teens are more likely to socialise than do homework online. Some 30% say they have a blog and 62% have a profile on a social networking site.
The report is based on an annual survey, now into its 15th year, of 1,800 children at 92 schools across the country. "This year has seen a major boost to the intensity and the independence with which children approach online activities,the report says.
Screen time has become so pervasive in the daily lives of five- to 16-year-olds that they are now skilled managers of their free time, juggling technology to fit in on average six hours of TV, playing games and surfing the net.
But reading books is falling out of favour - 84% said they read for pleasure in 2006, 80% in 2007 and 74% this year 2009 and well drop more by 2010.
Children who use the internet spend on average 1.7 hours a day online, but one in six spent more than three hours a day online on top of the 1.5 hours they spent on their games consoles. They still have time for 2.7 hours of television - though the report says they tend to multitask, doing these activities simultaneously.
Where children initially began using the internet to do homework, that has become an afterthought and they are much more likely to spend their time online socialising. One in three said the computer is the single thing they couldn't live without, compared with a declining number - one in five - who name television.
Pupils are using the internet less while at school, frustrated by the low-tech access and the restrictions put in place to stop them from accessing inappropriate material. Younger girls are now catching up with boys in the use of games consoles.
The Untied States Goverment has moved to address what has been dubbed the "toxic childhood" of children living under intense media influence. Just over a year ago the government published a long-term plan that ordered a review of children's media habits by psychologist Tanya Byron.
Byron recommended cinema-style ratings for video games as she warned of a "digital divide" growing up within families as children mastered the internet and video games while their parents and grandparents often had little clue about the material they were looking at.Today's research suggests that could now be the case. Rosemary Duff, ChildWise's research director, said: The internet has moved to a whole new level. They are watching the same amount of TV but there is a change in the way children communicate and get their information. It's so clear that a lot of children are fluent communicators but not in a conventional way. They aren't readers, they are reliant on spellchecks. They are a generation abandoning print and paper, and the whole integration of technology and the way they glide from one to the other is seamless. They will be surfing the net, talking to a friend and downloading a track simultaneously. It's hard for the older generation to understand what's going on with their children because they communicate in a completely different way.
well continue later...
