Many organizations have voiced concerns about the effects that the use of various technologies for children for various reasons, such as education and entertainment, has had on both early childhood development and culture. Although their parents may not have paid much notice, the American culture has implemented a number of "strategies" to ingratiate itself into society. For instance, the emergence of innovations like robots, Aristotle, and PG-13 movies has sparked concerns about the safety and protection of children from harm to which such devices may expose them from various places. For example, the three technologies have attracted numerous concerns from parents and other stakeholders including politicians on the future of technology and its effects on the safety and protection of children. Regarding the robots, the technology has been criticized for lack of personal touch that kids often receive from their human teachers even though they may gain a lot of help independently from the technology. While humans brainstorm and deliver knowledge to others, robots only release the information as programmed.
On the other hand, Aristotle raised concerns about how companies are marketing unique products to parents without necessarily understanding the possible adverse effects that such technological innovations could cause at the early stages of a child’s development. Furthermore, the discussion on PG-13 films relate to children’s safety and is geared towards the protection of children from potentially harmful content like, for instance, violence among others such as sensual elements. Conclusively, while the articles’ discussions primarily focus on the safety and protection of children, they could also take other directions that include benefits that kids would gain from using such devices regardless of their adverse effects based on cost-benefit analyses.
