Kids with iPads

I’m sure you must have heard of the iPad before, it is the tablet by Apple. Recently I’ve noticed that a lot of people have iPads, specifically kids. The iPad is great for education, and gaming as well. What I have noticed is that kids are becoming more hooked on technology at a very young age. It seems as if some kids are almost addicted to technology and they need tablets and iPods to keep entertained. I mean when I was a kid I was not playing on tablets and phones, I was playing with Lego. However, that is not to say that kids should not use technology. I think that it’s great that kids are becoming more technologically advanced which will greatly benefit them in our “tech-y” society, but in the long run will playing on a tablet be more beneficial than playing outside? It’s important to establish a balance. Yes, allow kids to play with technology and get used to it, but also allow them to be kids and enjoy the little things like playing at the park and playing with action figures.
