Technology

Your text shares many negative effects of technology and the media's influence on children. Regardless, technology is increasing rapidly and is only becoming a larger portion of our children's lives.

Then, list three positive examples of how technology has enhanced socialization for children in that age group. Give two additional examples of how parents/educators can use technology to further enhance a child's socialization.
