I was actually going to present this same article. I believe this is definitely topic of discussion. I see can the affects of excessive phone usage on Children on a daily basis.

• How would families ban internet devices from homes when main stream media entirely relaying via internet? That’s like denying yourself from what you direly need. Something very hard to do?
• It’s evident that technological advancement made people smarter especially  children but it equally make them lazy as there are so many shortcuts and information is almost readily available when they need it. So they are kind of literally doing very little in accomplishing any task. In essence, almost no work now is original. They are always extracts of someone’s work.

Abu Fofana – The digital gap between rich and poor kids is not what we expect

What would you say the perfect mix of “screen time” would be?

What is the reason behind higher income class kids using their “screen” less then lower income classes? Whether it be restrictions from parents, exposure from tech companies, or high income kids being exposed to more extra curriculum activities.

i feel like i was raised by technology. I relate to this, and agree with the movement to drive kids away from the screens

Have parent’s tried to limit the use instead of taking it away for good?

Did the article mention what was the effect on the kids who spent less time in the digital world as opposed to the kids who spent all their time digitally?

I don’t find the wireless charging pads convenient because it has slower charge and U can’t use your phone while charging. Also, it’s not truly wireless because the pad has to be plug in.

Is there any mention of maybe one day having a true wireless charger where you don’t have to have anything plugged into an outlet to charge your device?

Joshua: You chose great images. They really drove the point home.

Alisha: Your presentation was really informative and easy to understand.

Honestly, this seems a bit worrying that people can actually use technology as a form a torture. Since technology is a growing dynamic and most people still don’t know how it works. Every time people think they got the hang of using a piece of technology, there is a newer, “easier version that functions different, so people would tend to give up to learn these devices. Let us say someone is babysitting and the parents of the baby uses wireless technology, and the babysitter doesn’t know how to use it. What would happen if someone is messing with the house and the babysitter can’t control the technology and is constantly tortured?

Do you think that using wireless charging could ever replace wired charging?

In modern times, people are now shifting to a wireless world, a world without any tedious wires to get in the way. Plus, there are other people who break their charging ports and need a new way to charge their phone.
