Technology isolates you from what is going on in the real world and it can have a major effect on your brain. With social media comes false entertainment and acceptance. People turn to the internet for validation from others, which can be very dangerous. The opinions of other people can be very harmful and can take a toll on you. Exposure to technology at such a young age is harmful for a teen brain because it’s just developing. If you want kids to grow up self-sufficient and capable of making real connections. We have become too heavily reliant on technology to keep us entertained that we have stopped connecting with people on deeper levels. These conversations that we are missing out on are truly necessary to maintain complex relationships with others and oneself because they teach you about fluidity, contingency, and personality.
