We all are excited about innovations in access to information any where driven by high speed wireless access and smart phones .
We take pride in information and communication technologies. Homes with PC, laptop , TV and mobile phones are struggling to keep children away from these gadgets.
Addiction and dependency of young generation on using above is a big concern. These is no control on content acccessed , risk of exposure to unknown person and equally important is Health.
Results have shown that average number of kids with glasses are three times and who are overweight are four times compared to nineties.
Who is to be blames for :
1. Parents : Most of the couples are working and busy but needs to ensure and control content exposure.
2. People like Bill Gates , Steve Jobs . These people have done great job by bringing technology but what after then. They have made big money but do not have solution to how technology is impacting kids and future generation .
Reports suggest activities of kids in days :
1. 1-2 hrs TV with rich media
2. 1 hr on video games
3. 30-40 min on social networking sites
4. 3-40 min on unnecessary phone
This on average takes 4 hrs and there is no place for him to interact with nature and with weekends spend on Mall.
Is it not future generation is becoming slave of technology and their lifestyle will have huge impact on thought process and health.
There is no solution to this problem but this is the right time to start discussing.

O'Yes Vivek, I fully agree with you. Parents must plan for some time daily to interact with their children, off course, with the television switched off.
