So at first my research topic was about the negative effects of technology , but after wards I realized that my project was supposed to be about well being and happiness . Negative doesn’t scream happiness so I switched negative to positive and instead of society it’s the children . So now my topic is the many positive effects technology has on children . Effects like motivating kids to learn , find help for things like homework , and even change the ways children think about things . For example in the website , ” Psychology today ” , shows an article written by Jim Taylor which discusses how technology is changing the way children think and focus . Taylor expresses the idea of how technology can be beneficial because children minds are still developing  . Another source I found was an article ,” Your Wired kid ” , written by Annie Murphy Paul . In her article Paul mentions how scientist have conducted test and that it has actually been proven that kids who play games on the internet or even a video game console , reflexes improve and so does there ability to stay focused . These are just some of the examples of why Im doing this topic , to inform readers that technology and technology advancement helps a child’s well being and helps them build skills that can improve their learning development all of which are positive effects .

This website is the article I wrote about , Your Wired kid , written by Annie Murphy Paul . This article is about the misinterpretation about video games . Meaning that video games aren’t all bad it can actually benefit your child’s mind . It can give sharper vision and also the ability to be a better multitasker.

Now this website which I did not mention in my proposal but found interesting to read is an article written by , Hutinger Patricia L. etc. , that is based on assistive technology helping children with disability’s . Two year studies were conducted on this subject with children who had already 2 to 10 years of experience with this kind of technology assistence.
