Declining Childhood, Growing Addictions, The simple pleasures of childhood seem to be the thing of the past.
The simple pleasures of childhood seem to be the thing of the past. Days of jumping in the woods, climbing the trees and mountains, going on family picnics and exploring old tombs are now practically extinct. The current generation of youngsters are way afar from the treasures of nature, playing the ‘Temple Run’ and shooting pigs with the ‘Angry Birds’ – all on the tablets and smartphones. The action is now ingrained live on the virtual medium that is soon dragging the little people in the households into a chronic addiction. The children these days do not exuberate idiosyncrasy for things not ’deciphered’ anymore – they are way ahead, super informed about things as compared to the adults of present times.
The changing face of urban India is now seeing the new procreation of young minds that are hooked and addicted to TV, Gadgets and Smartphones. Information explosion has taken a new turn with children being overcooked with things that are not on a need to know basis anymore. Starting from the General Knowledge to Science and Literature, current affairs to sports, Cartoons to PlayStation, our little geniuses willingly delve into seeking the unknown with fancy gizmos that leave even the parents gaped. While technology has made a paradigm shift with the learning process at schools and homes, the over abuse of the same has its ramifications on the flipside.
