Photo 12: Technology and Children


Photo 12: I took this picture at a high school football game of a kid who spent the entire time playing games on an Iphone.

Sociological Perspective: Nowadays it seems like more kids are spending time out of the house on technology devices. Kids don't know how to engage in conversations and just enjoy the activities around them. They constantly need to be engaged in technology. How do parents use technology to "babysit" their children? How do parents buy in to the consumer society to "please" their children? What affects might this have on their family dynamics? What affects might this have on their children's socialization skills?
