Article on internet has killed creativity of children in favour
Answers
hey mate here is your answer
There was a recent article that postulates the Internet is leaving children brain-dead; that children of the “Google generation,” who spend a lot of time on-line, are “losing creativity and skills.” In a story in London’s Daily Mail newspaper, John Stevens reports on a man named Trevor Baylis, a British inventor who said that children are losing creativity and practical skills because they spend too much time in front of screens
While it is extremely important to give a child the opportunity to physically explore the world around them, the issue is probably more of how electronic devices are being used by young people, rather than that they are replacing other forms of learning.
“When they’re in situations where there are multiple sources of information coming from the external world or emerging out of memory, they’re not able to filter out what’s not relevant to their current goal…That failure to filter means they’re slowed down by that irrelevant information.”
So, it’s starting to look like the Internet is inundating kids with so much information, they can’t focus on one thing (almost like Internet-induced ADHD). Instead of the Internet causing creativity to disappear from young people, maybe it is just the problem of multitasking – thinking you can do a lot of things well and, in reality, doing none of them well. he says that, “it is in the long term commitment to an idea and the persistence beyond all reason that true influential creation emerges.”
So, some would argue that we’re breeding a robotic generation whose main social contact is a web based one and who are losing the ability to talk and deal with others face to face. Others would argue that the Internet is the largest, most comprehensive encyclopedia ever known to man. There is enough information to become an expert in almost any topic. The Internet is not making children brain-dead; in fact, it should be the opposite. It should be making a generation of incredibly knowledgeable and skillful children.
i hope it helps you
