The Touch of Social Media towards Our Children

Hi Friends!  Social Media plays an important roles in our daily live.  It will not only impact our way of thinking and how we react to it, but the vital part is, it do impact our children.  Currently, we can still see a group of people talking, discussing and even flirting at a coffee shop, but I believe, the figures is much lesser compared to old days!  This is where 'the touch' of social media come into picture and shape the life of our younger generation.  The way they communicate will be much different compared to us.

I would like to throw this question to you guys!  I don't have any answer to it!  I need your help to comment on 'What will really happen in near future, as our younger generation (The Alpha's onwards), is more onto their gadget or smartphone instead of playing with their friends?'  They were no longer seems to be fighting and screaming for a toy.  Instead, each of them, sitting quietly and focusing on their gadget.  Our first judgement for sure, 'they are a good kids', but given a second thought, 'Oh No!'  they are not even say 'Hi!' to the person next to them...There is not even a word came out from their lips....no communication at all!  This is bad!  Really bad!

There were few studies done on the impact of social media towards teenagers.  I had downloaded a video from youtube, on 'Teens and Social Networks' (published on June12, 2012 by MySecureCyberspace.  As an adult in the house, we need to look into it seriously, as there seems to be a lot of negative impact compared to positive, unless there is a proper control measure were in place.  Let's 'touch' our heart to see what is the best for our children.  At the end, we can generate positive result from the touch of social media!  The answer is within our 'touch'!
