My cousin's wife Irina Olaru has a positive attitude about the internet use of their children, a girl of four years, and a boy of two and half years.

Asking her how much time daily their children spend in front of a laptop or cell phone, she said more than two hours every day, which confirms above statistical data. Asking her what attitude they have, as parents about the computer use of their children at such young age, she explained that the internet gives many opportunities of learning and developing for their children. They do not want to ban computer use because they need a time when their children
Irena Krzyzanowska was born on February 15, 1910 in Warsaw. Her Jewish community leaders offered to help her mother pay for Sendler’s education. She went to Warsaw University as she studied in polish. While she was there, she joined the Polish Socialist Party. She felt as though the ghetto-bench system was wrong, so she defaced her grade cards. The University got so fed up with her public protests; she was suspended from the school for three years.

She saved over 2,500 Jewish children from the
Rhetorical Analysis Eliana Dockterman’s “The Digital Parent Trap” discusses the manner in which children in our modern era are often too criticized for spending their free time in front of a screen.

As i wrote this essay about why parents shouldn’t let kids run wild online , you might think i was saying that they should never get a new phone for their kids or let them chill just on their phones , but in my opinion i feel like parents should just buy them new technology when they are know their kids are mature enough to handle it and won’t get in the way of important stuff.

The modern generation makes much time of computers and digital media use, to give an average of close to a third of the week.

Today’s technology has greatly impacted the young children’s everyday lives. Phones, tablets, and computers are all a form of technology that impact the way kids are influenced. Some children get phones or computers at young ages and it can cause kids to depend on it to entertain them.

Technology is becoming more advanced overtime which causes children to become more attached and unable to function without it near by.
