Abstract

The rise of modern technology has a tremendous impact on the lives of children these days until they reach adolescence. If 20 years ago, children spent their time playing outdoor activities, cycling and so on, 21st century children however, are exposed to the use of various technological devices such as televisions, internet, computers, smart phones, and video games. Children spend about eight hours, on average, consuming these technological devices. As a result, their development is influenced by the technological resources present in their lives. This study examines the issue of how the technology impacts the lives of children negatively until they reach adolescence, as they are important assets to the country's future. Thus, the objective of this study is to identify the negative effects of the use of modern technology to the physical development, interaction and social development as well as their academic progress. This study is a literature study, comparative study, and historical analysis. Scientific journals, research reports, and related thesis are the main sources of this study. The findings indicate that the use of modern technology beyond control has negative impacts on the physical and muscular development, interpersonal skills and academic performance. In addition, this study also suggests some guidelines for parents to find the best solution in dealing with the uncontrolled use of technology among their children.
