The premium.catization and children
Exploring the implications of new technologies in the premium.catization process of children, we analyzed how the widespread use of mobile phones and tablets could affect their attention span and their susceptibility to addiction. This time, we focus on premium.catization itself, that is, the process of acquiring knowledge, competences and skills for adult life.
The road to premium.catization
The premium.catization is not a short process, but a journey that starts from the cradle. Children not only learn from family and school, but are also influenced by the reality around them and media content. Today, these contents are found on portable devices that are accessible anytime and anywhere, expanding children’s exposure.
Learning in technological environments
The risks associated with excessive exposure to technology during the premium.catization process are worrisome. Children usually learn by trial and error, imitation and guidance from adults. With the increase in unfiltered content and the absence of adult interpretation, the development of children’s critical thinking and discernment is jeopardized.
Impact of digital media
In the past, traditional media acted as filters of content for children. In the digital age, this filtering has been compromised, exposing them to an information overload without adult guidance. This overexposure can lead to confusion and a lack of judgment in decision-making, manifesting itself as a dangerous relativism.
The challenges of digital premium.catization
The flood of digital information without adult supervision puts the process of premium.catization in dangerous perversion. Children are forced to interpret a sea of ​​content on their own without clear guidance on what is appropriate and what is not. This highlights the crucial need to educate them in judgment so that they can discern the content they consume.
The relevance of the age of use of mobile phones
In light of the risks identified, the importance of delaying the age at which mobile phones are introduced to children is evident. Each family will have to consider the character and abilities of their child, as well as the existence of nearby adults capable of guiding them. It must be weighed whether the benefits of accessing the technology outweigh the identified dangers.
This debate is a complex topic and deserves a deeper analysis in other articles.
