How are the kids growing up?

The last generation that grew up playing i the park grew up in the 90 `s , at that time you could still see children playing in the park and in fact they knew how it was to play in the neigborhood.

These days children grow up with computers, ipods, and an infinite variety of video games, but no longer skates, bicycles or a simple balloon, now everything is on the internet. Children acquire unnecessary information, although they are very small, it deprives them of innocence with forming time passes.

However, we could not ignore the education that their parents provide them, in the twenty-first century, as the parents have no time, they are getting money to fill their children with machines that keep them occupied, bearing in mind that the children are developed only in this environment, we can also find parents who had to resign themselves against the "technology" demands for their children.

First of all this "easy way" to raise children should change, we are creating timid young, which can only establish relationships over the Internet, they are removing the capacity to express their feelings, now everything can be done for them through a machine, providing them all aspects their lives need, these days no child knows wthat an encyclopedia is, it`s so sad that the books have to pay for their "updates" too.

Time progresses, but this new move is doing upbringing of children in excessive quantities, they no longer have space to live stages and pass them on.

On the other hand the Internet quenches the curiosity of those who really give it a good use. It allows them to know the world in minutes if it wanted too.

The infinitive amount of information that it providies should a wake an interest in them, but it doesn´t, unfortunately this medium is never used adequately.

Taking into account the two perspectives of this issue, children should not have a full and uncontrolled access to this type of technology, since it might give them misinformation or simply information that they dont even have to know.

Parents should make good use of these tools, like for educational purposes and didactic issues, that could create some good and healthy curiosities in children.
