Half of them said they used them to play educational games such as spelling quizzes. Other uses include surfing the Internet and social networking. Personally,i am not against gadget usage among children,but having said that, we all as parents should aware that its usage should be done with moderation. Children should be supervised and there should be rules on 'how much' time can be spent on gadgets per day. There are always risks involved if the children misuse or use it without supervision and limitation. The bad effects of unsupervised and excessive electronic gadget usage are as follows: Child become addicted to gadgets and develop...

Sawyer (2010) according to a to a new study by the Kaiser Family Foundation children spend more than 75 hours per week on their electronics devices. To solve this problem among the children population using electronic gadgets should be monitored because children waste too much time on the electronic devices, they have difficulty to focus on one task and also can cause them some health issues. Children waste too much time on their electronic gadgets, so they do not have enough time to do anything else. Sawyer (2010) wrote that Children spend more than 75 hours weekly on their electronic devices, which means the time wasted is more than full time working hours of an adult per week.

...Technology is relatively new in terms of its prevalence with children. As many parents are not as up-to-date with the latest gadgets, they tend to have little knowledge on the possible effects technology might bring. But technology, while useful, brings many negative effects to teens' lives. Parents who have technophile kids should be aware of the possible risks and dangers. Predators Informed parents know that the media blows the prevalence of online sexual predators out of proportion. However, they do exist, and they often go after easy targets, namely children. Technology such as the Internet and smart phones give both children and predators the ability to make contact with large amounts of new people. Uninformed children might feel they are making a friend but in fact are running the risk of being preyed upon. The key risk here, though, is not the predator but the lack of adult knowledge about technology and the lack of supervision parents give to their children’s online behaviors. Parents who feel bad prying into their children’s lives are ignoring the fact that most children, especially teens, are sexually curious, willing to take risks, and have poor decision-making behaviors. So, while not common, sexual predators do exist and should be something parents talk to their kids about before allowing them full reign online.

...1.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Media is everywhere. TV, Internet, computer and video games all vie for our children's attention. Nowadays, we can easily found children as young as two years old are playing with an electronic devices and gadgets anywhere. As students head back to school with the latest tablets, laptops and smart phones in their knapsacks, some parents worry the abundance of gadgets in their children's lives could be affecting their grades and health. President of Early Childcare and Education Council (ECCE Council) Prof Datuk Dr Chiam Heng Keng said television should never be used as "babysitters" or "educational" tools. "Scientific studies by neuroscientists have shown that for 100 billion neurons (brain cells) to be wired to form neural paths, a young child needs to interact with human beings and things in their environment. In 2010, a joint study by Ohio State University and Open University of the Netherlands surveyed 219 students and found a relationship between Facebook use and negative academic performance. It found Facebook users had GPAs in the 3.0 to 3.5 range and studied one to five hours a week; non Facebook users had GPAs in the 3.5 to 4.0 range and studied 11 to 15 hours a week. Gadgets also affect health of the kids. According to the Active Healthy Kids Canada 2012 report card, 10- to 16-year-olds get an average of 6 hours and 37 minutes of daily non-class work screen time. Only 19 per cent of this age group met the Canadian...

Followed by electricity, gadgets were improved and taken to a new level as inventors discover a different uses of newly applied electricity. The television, radio and quartz watch are some of the examples of electronic devices. After electricity, inventors toyed around with electronic information via microprocessor where begins the age of programmable devices such as computers, and later, MP3 players and the iPhone. Application gadgets include iTunes, Microsoft Office, and other computer applications that customize our experience in programmable devices. In today’s generation, modern technology has improved people's lives in many fields such as medicine, work, industry, and especially in education.

While Technology is indeed a boon and the revolution brought about in the industry has completely changed the way we live, there seems to be some major drawbacks like misusing the technology or addiction/fascination of latest gadgets etc. Presently, a gadget is no more treated a helping device, but has evolved more as a status symbol and there is this fascination of having the best one in the market, whether one truly has the use of it or not.
