the popular technology for children nowadays and parents actions


We know that there are many kinds of technology, such as internet, television, radio, and many others. Nowadays, the user of technology is not only adult or teenagers but also children. The most kinds of technology that using by children is internet because internet is the popular technology in nowadays.
I have interviewed some children who use the technology in their daily activities. They said that they have used internet and watching television. This is my interview script:
The first interviewed.
Eka: how much time do you spent your time to watching television a day?
Lala: about 5 to 6 hours.
Eka: what the function of television for you?
Lala: to spent my time in the house, to amusing myself, and to know about the recent information.
Eka: what do you think about internet?
Lala: the place for gaming, computer, Facebook, and many more.
Eka: what did you do if you use the internet?
Lala: sometimes I open my Facebook account, browsing the celebrities’ pictures and searching a new song.
The second interviewed.
Eka: how much time do you spent your time to watching television a day?
Tia: about 4 hours
Eka: what the function of television for you?
Tia: to watching my favorite film.
Eka: what do you think about internet?
Tia: computer, song, and Facebook.
Eka: what did you do if you use the internet?
Tia: to open my Facebook account, playing a game, listening to the music, and fill the new song to my handphone.
From those interview, I can conclude that internet and television has a bad effect for the children because they just waste their time to do something not important. In the house they watch television about 5 to 6 hours a day and we know that it is not important thing to do. Actually, they have to study or do their homework not watching the television. As the parents, we have to direct the children to do the important thing like study at home or do their homework. We have to switch off the television as possible as we want, so that the child not always watching the television and it occur to using of the internet too.
We know that technology help parents to teach and educate their child, because the children can learn more information from the technology, but technology also has many bad effects for them. So, we have to pay attention and control  the children’ activities while they use the technology so that the parents can avoid the bad effects of the internet for the children.
