Insight into the world

of the iFamily
Children and the use of technology
devices:
Overexposure to technology

Parents do not limit the use of it.

Dont say just NO! But, why not.

Screen contact Vs. Face to face

contact.

But technology can also

help children

Technology stimulates childrens

creativity.

Prepare them for the real world in

which you need to be a computer
literate.

Technology as a useful tool for

learning specific subjects: Maths,
for example.

The uses of screens

- Houses and schools flooded with

screened devices not to fall
behind.

- Playtime is screen-mediated

- Children are experts in multitasking

Abuses of screen

- Increase in the hours of exposure

led to problems with social
interaction: Less face-to-face

- IUD (Internet Use Disorder):

coined by the American Pediatric
Association since May, 2013.

- Attention problems and sleep

and eating disorders

Change in habits and

customs in leisure time

Never-ending entertainment at
your fingertips

Less real or quality in parenting

time: Parents resort to the iNanny

Heavy users: a quarter of

Argentinas population spend more
than 2 hours in the Net.

The challenge today

Parents should find a balance
between technology and
upbringing. They should both
try to take advantage of
technology and try to lessen
the bad effects.
