The appropriate age for kids to use technology.

From my point of view, it is good that kids learn about technology since early years becuase, as we live in a world sorrounded by technology, kids need to know about technology and devices as well. It means that not only adults can use technology but also young people. When kids are immersed in the technology, I found no one but plenty of problems that kids are exposed to.

For intance, if kids learn how to use  devices they are exposed to be radiated by the magnetic waves and that could cause or produce nervous system disorders in them. Moreover, if kids are not controlled or monitored by an adult when using the technology, they can face in and find out not allowed content for kids. These are some of the problems that I see. Besides, the time children spend when using the technology should be controlled by parents at any time.

I am not saying that there are only  problems when kids are handling technology, there are, as well, many such good things as learning to speak, to count, to socialize, to send messages, to communicate, to look up games, to make better tasks, to  possibly make e-pals, etc. These are nice things that kids can do. However, what is the best age to let kids to use technology?

As we saw in the beginning of this paragraph, there is no limitations for a kid to learn about technology when being so young, but it will depend on the parents´ responsibility and on the control that they could exert upon the children. I think that there is no age for learning concerning technology, but if I had a kid a would let him/her use technology since 7 years on because I consider she is in the right moment to learn new things in life.

Good and bad things both in presential classes and in on line classes.

I have always believed that going to classes have many more advantages and benefits. For intance, if I receive classes by internet I am exposed to have thousands of doubts and those doubts would make me fail a subject. It means that whenever I look for a class on-line there will be something that I will not understand. 

Instead, if I go to classes every day, I will have the possibility to understand in a range of 95% of all the content. So it means that having a real teacher, a student can ask, do, learn and put into practice. I am saying that through classes on line, there is only directions and multiple drill for the students to practice, but what about if the student has not understood. There needs to be intervention of a second person to help this student in what he/she has not gotten.

The two situation before are examples that contain good and bad things. But not only this way there exist problems but olso when Going to classes is kind of difficult or even when we are late because of the bus, taxi or other thing. If we receive classe bia internet we have the chance to be doing other things like eating, drinking a soda, brushing our hair, etc. Instead, in the classroom most of the times those things are not allowed to do. 

Nevertheless, taking classes on line have some disadvantages, I can call them this way, beacuse there exist many distractors sorrounding us all the time. In this way, eventhough, everything is clear we could face difficulties.

For me, it is better to have classes presentially because sometimes the connection of the internet does not work and we could face disgusting situations when doing something really important. I would like to have classes on line when we are tired or maybe when the classes are in the morning, especially because I hate to get up early in the morning.
