3. A study was conducted proving
that children as young as two
and four years old can adapt to
technology. The entire study
took about one month to
conduct. After the researchers
got all their data, they came to
find that these children were
already able to immerse
themselves into the
technological world with ease.

17. The quality time would no longer exists. Whether it’s at the
dinner table, in front of the TV or in the car, there will always be
access to the phone. Parents don’t feel like they’re getting to
spend any time with their children.

22. The technological advances we
have made in the last two
decades have been nothing
short of remarkable. However,
there must come a time when
we step back and think about
the implications these devices
have made on our lives. As
convenient as a device may be,
it can never take away the true
joy of living your life entirely.
