Do young people today make good use of the technology? With the popularity of technology, people could have an entertainment with more facility than in the past, so, people started to be connected almost everywhere, because of that, I believe that the teens don't make good use of their leisure time, they spend a lot of time on virtual media. Today is more common see teens spending their free time with video games and TV Shows. According to the article published by PAMF.org (Palo Alto Medical Foundation) in June 2014, 97% of young people in USA play video games, and players engage on a deeper level, physically and emotionally than people do when watching a movie or TV. I have seemed a lot of parents using the video games to keep the kids and teenagers busy, instead of having a family moment or having more productive activities. In contrast to that, the video games and TV may help children improve their manual dexterity and computer literacy. When a video game is 'pro-social' and rewards players for building new places or helping others, experts said that young people tend to show more empathy and helpfulness in their lives. However, it is important to avoid violent content and create some rules to avoid that children and teenagers doing another kind of activities. Furthermore, check the rating of the content, set limits on how often and how long young people are allowed to play and watch TV and take time to discuss the content with them, using correctly, all would have the best of two worlds.
