The findings of a sector-wide survey undertaken as a component of Early Childhood
Australia's multi-component process to produce a state Statement on young kids and digital
media for individuals working in early childhood education and care (ECEC) environments
are presented in this document by Zabatiero, et al., (2018). Twelve Likert measurement scales
and three open-ended queries were included in the survey. A total of 515 individuals of
different roles, location and gender participated. The results indicates that these sector carries
a diversity of complex opinions which includes credits for learning, teaching and other
activities via technology and yet apprehensions for children’s health and also digital
citizenship.
Tuukkanen, T., & Wilska, T. A. (2015). Online environments in children’s everyday lives:
children’s, parents’ and teachers’ points of view. Young Consumers.
The purpose of this article was to investigate the influence of online spaces in children's daily
lives. Tuukkanen and Wilska (2015) investigate the interpretations that children between the
ages 11 to 13, guardians, and teachers draw from their knowledge of online settings, and
create a typology of the imagined possibilities and hazards those children face in these
spaces. The information was gathered through 27 semi-structured interviews conducted in
Finland in 2012. Education and socializing, community cohesion and strength, antisocial
Behavior, and security threat are four sorts of perceived impacts that reflect opportunities and
hazards, according to the researcher's findings. Children may have challenges and issues that
their guardians and instructors are unaware of, or do not consider to be significant.

Gottschalk, F. (2019). Impacts of technology use on children: Exploring literature on the
brain, cognition and well-being.
This study examines some of the research on the impacts of technology on children's brain,
cognition, socio-emotional, and physical health, and summarizes what has been convincingly
established. Also, Gottschalk (2019) identifies areas in which more high-quality study is
required to thoroughly understand the effects of technologies on kids and to help establish
appropriate, evidence-based guidance. Gottschalk also identifies that Policymakers in many
nations have established rules for children's technology use, which are frequently restrictive.
The research shows that because of an increase in use of technology in early childhood
stages, there has been a lot of focus on the effects of technology on developing minds and
their social, emotional, intellectual, and physical growth.
Ling, R., & Bertel, T. (2013). Mobile communication culture among children and
adolescents. In The Routledge international handbook of children, adolescents and
media (pp. 153-159). Routledge.
This journal covers studies on children's and adolescent's use of mobile phones in their
everyday lives. Children and teenagers in the industrialized world, and rapidly in the
industrialized regions, have grown up with easy access to cell phones. Ling and Bertel (2013)
emphasize that the use of mobile phones has altered how teens experience their youth life. In
this study, Children and teenagers are both alike and dissimilar, as seen by their cell phone
usage. A similar culture of communication exists among children and teenagers, with varying
emphases in its presentation depending on age according to this research. This research also
links childhood to teenagerhood comparing how each of the two groups access and use the
internet, pointing out who and why are the most vulnerable to exposure in the media.

THE OVERUSE OF TECHNOLOGY IN CHILDREN’S LIFE 4
According to this article, Over the last half-century, the culture of kid’s playground has
evolved at unparalleled speeds. The reasons for this are numerous and are connected to
developments in technology, families, and education. Frost (2012) suggests that Extensive
online play and parental worry about safety restrict children to passive indoor activities;
contentious school assessment and curriculum stifle recess and physical exercise; severe
poverty limits opportunities and resources that wealthier families take for granted. Shortfalls
in interpersonal, emotional, intellectual, and physical health, fitness, and satisfaction are
among the consequences of such alterations in children's play. Also, Frost emphasizes that
Scientists, charities, professional societies, and authorities from around the world are looking
for and discovering ways to change these tendencies, culminating in a play revolution with
unparalleled scope and vigor.
