Negate full access to technology for children

(topic: Should a child be allowed to have full access to technology before age of five?)

Do you use technology? You probably do since no one can escape from using technology, even children. It’s just about what kind of technology and when is that they start using it. Each person has a different opinion on when children should start using it. Some said the earlier the better, but I don't think that children should have full access to technology before the age of five, or at least parents or adults should watch over them when they using it. There are several reasons for that. 

First is that children can spend time with their parents. They may spend their time with their parents doing various activities to strengthen the family’s bond. One of the activities may be about technology which not only strengthens their family’s bond but also makes them learn how to use the technology better with their parent while the parent can also watch over their children to make sure they will not do something inappropriate.

Another reason we should consider is that there is some chance of accidents. When using technology, especially the smartphone, there are what are called In-app purchases. Without supervision from parents, they may accidentally pay a large amount of money while using some of it which happens quite often in the news. 

For the final reason, it may lead to overusing, which is bad. Without proper control and care from parents, kids without self-control may use it without stopping. They may even get harm from overusing these devices, such as overusing televisions, smartphones, or computers can cause harm to their eyes. Overusing can also lead to a lack of socialization since kids will willing to spend more time on technology instead of their family members or friends.

Some may say it's fine since it might help the children catch up on the latest trends with their friends which may result in better socialization. I can agree with that fact, but as I stated before that there's the chance of an accident which may involve a large amount of money. Do you think it is really worth it? What is worse is that we never know when it is going to happen. It may happen when you need money the most.

I don't think that children should have full access to technology before the age of five and they should be under the supervision of parents until it is really good time for it. It should be when they have already learned self-control and what is right and wrong, that's when they can have full access to technology.
