The technology age has ruled our
world but what has it done to the developing brains of young children? The Australian Council on Children and the Media are holding a
conference to discuss this question. Expert Dr Phillip Tam, a child and
adolescent psychiatrist and also a psychiatry lecturer in University of Sydney,
he joins in the discussion, he’s speaking here with Barney Porter about the
question of how young is the age to begin approaching this technology and do
young minds really developing as if they do.Philip Tam claimed that it’s a very difficult question to be answer, as specialists and the experts still have not get the direct answer for so far. He guesses one way of searching it is that we are now living in a rapid pace media; the IT-dominated world thus we can’t now, if you would like to isolate the younger kids from it then he suggests it’s about under six years old according to the technology.
However, experts will look at the family backgrounds; mobile
phones and tables and others. The main question is how young kids get them at a
tender age, how to indoctrinate them and teach them using appropriately to
avoid those addictive problems on later. Certainly, clinicians are now beginning
to see an increase rate at a tender age.
Based on my perspectives, I think children who under 6 years old are not suitable being encourage in playing electronic games. Or else, they must have a limited time in contacting with technology under supervision, the best appropriate time to contact with electronic screen will be under 15 minutes, because technology has certainly proved to influenced children's brain negatively due to the radiation from electronic screen such as TV, computer screen and also electronic devices. Certainly, when children grow older, they are unavoidably have to contact with electronic stuffs like when they entering primary school they will be having computer lesson in school or a teen entering middle school, they will have their time in electronic entertainment such as playing computer games. Therefore, we can set every child age with a different time span from contact with technology as entertainment.
