                      Do you think technology (computers, cell phones, video games)

                                                             makes kids less active?


                                              Cass Ward                                                             Brooklyn Amelotte
                                  I do not think that technology is making kids                                I do think that the internet, makes
                                   less active. I’m someone who loves to play                                    kids less  active.  When kids play
                                    video games but I’m also really active and
                                    love to play sports. Lots of parents are                                      these  games  on the  Internet,
                                    putting time limits on their kids’ tech time.                                 they  can be on their devices  for
                                    Once the tech time is done the parents help                                   over an hour.   When kids are
                                    the kids to be active or exercise. Sometimes
                                   the  creators  of  the  game  without  realizing                              finished  playing  one  game,  they
                                  it give their game a bad update which makes                                   are  immediately  wanting  to  play
                                kids not want to play that game anymore. Also                                 another  game.   They are always
           kids              are learning how important it is to be active and                            trying to go up a level or higher in the
           healthy. Lots of kids have watches and phones with step counters and         game.  Even after playing outside we tend to want to
           apps to keep them healthy.  Sports athletes that kids look up to are
           encouraging us to be healthy and we want to be like them. For all            go back to the computer or iPad.  My thought is that
           of these reasons I do not think that kids are less active because of         parents need to play with their children and watch them
           technology.                                                                  and encourage them to be more active.

                                    I think technology makes some                                                Yes I think electronics makes

                                    kids less active because there                                               kids less active because they

                                     are really cool video games                                                  spend hours sitting playing
                                                                                                                  and  watching  video  games
                                     like Mario Kart and Magic
                                                                                                                 like  Minecraft,  Fortnite  and
                                    Tiles 3.  They are fun to play
                                                                                                                tiktoks, instead of getting active
                                  and you get  to play against
                                                                                                              outside,  building  snowmen,
                               people and it makes you want to                                            skating  and  tobogganing,  less

           beat them.   So instead of playing outside all                                time  interacting  with family  and friends.  I

           the time video games make some kids excited                                   love playing on my electronics but when I get

           and so they forget to get active.                                             outside and see my friends I love it even more!
