The Effects of the Digital World on Children

 

For children, internet access can be both good and bad. On the good side, digital technology can connect a child to information and to a larger community. It can bring future opportunities for work and career. Access to the internet can change a child’s life. Especially for kids in places where opportunities are few or for children who are disabled, or living in remote places the internet has huge potential and is already helping children to access opportunities.

But on the bad side, it can also bring great harm and stress – especially for a child who does not know how to use the internet wisely.

- not to open e-mail from people they don't know;

- not to get together with anyone they "meet" online.

- Keep the computer in a central spot in your home. It is easy to watch your child’s use of the computer if the device in a commonly-used area, like the kitchen.

- Use safe-surfing options such as filters and privacy settings on your child’s browsers. But know that a child who knows computers may be able to change these settings.

Parents, teachers and school administrators, businesses and policymakers need to work together to make sure children have a safe access to the internet and protect children from the possible dangers of the growing digital world.
