  1. hi everyone.
  2. This is my presentation on technology and social media and
  3. if it's helpful or harmful to parent and child relationships.
  4. So first we're going to talk about the advantages to technology and
  5. it brings not just loved ones but the whole world closer together,
  6. we are more connected than ever before.
  7. Um, new innovative ideas and products are introduced like phones,
  8. tablets and smart boards.
  9. And these also can help produce less waste
  10. from like paper and wood cutting down trees.
  11. Plastic
  12. and technology also helps people become more time
  13. efficient and work in a timely manner.
  14. However, there are also some disadvantages to technology and social media use.
  15. For example,
  16. people could have poor self image and self esteem issues
  17. from unrealistic ideals on sites like instagram or Tiktok,
  18. kids can hide things from their parents more easily and they could also become
  19. less
  20. inclined to
  21. be a part of their family like always being
  22. in their room or hanging with their friends.
  23. Online predators especially on dating sites are prevalent as well as scam artists,
  24. false information and false narratives could be spread like rumors,
  25. Trust issues can form not just between parents and Children,
  26. but also in intimate relationships with a partner.
  27. Sleeping problems can be induced and peer pressure is also
  28. something that could result from high social media usage.
  29. Um,
  30. technology can be addictive and people can depend
  31. on it and as technology improves our society
  32. has easier access to almost anything like vapes
  33. important confidential documents fast fashion especially nowadays,
  34. trends are happening at least weekly and companies want to keep up with the trends.
  35. So there is just an influx of
  36. um,
  37. clothes that people are not wearing or throwing out and
  38. just being put to waste and also plastic use.
  39. So why are parents feeling more disconnected with their Children than ever before?
  40. Children usually
  41. consume more social media
  42. and media in general than their parents?
  43. And this creates a wide disconnect in the
  44. understanding of the way their Children think,
  45. how they act and even their humor.
  46. Parents may also not know about all of
  47. the friends that their child is interacting with and
  48. possibly even friends with.
  49. Um, inside jokes like Tiktok.
  50. This goes back to my first point because child might find
  51. something funny or entertaining and a parent may not agree,
  52. which in most cases causes an argument,
  53. making the child feel misunderstood and less close with their parents,
  54. creating a trust barrier.
