Today, generation Z, the first social generation to grow up with
access to the Internet and portable digital technology from an early
age, and the Alpha generation, the current generation that followed
it, are known as the internet generation, the google generation or the
‘.com’ generation in various sources. The biggest reasons why the
Alpha generation, which includes those born from 2013 to the current
year, is so important:
It covers especially younger age groups.
Being more careful than the Z generation.
Screen connection rates are higher.
For the alpha generation, the world has no physical boundaries
because technology is limitless.
For example, today children learn to
use technological tools before being
able to tie their shoes, or illiterate
children aged 3-6 can search for
cartoons they want to watch on
Youtube or Google search engine.
Children are able to grasp and copy
things related to technology very quickly.
The fact that they were born into technology
and have access to such unlimited resources makes them less likely
to think, expect excellent results with little effort, or become
unrestrained.
The main concern of families begins at this point, because this is an
uncontrollable infinite power, and this power is no longer a desire, but
a need, and children are most aware of this because they were born
into this world. There should be restrictions for these age groups who
have shortcomings such as decision-making and making their own
decisions, and therefore cannot make their choices correctly. As long as
there are no restrictions, unfortunately, it becomes really complicated
and difficult to protect our children from internet trolls, bullying,
obscene content in this age of developing and developing
technology.Therefore, the priority thing that every parent should do is to
give limited internet and technology use to their child. It is not possible
to prevent technological developments. Man is a being who develops,
renews and changes himself. The important thing is to handle these
innovations in the right way and try to make them better for ourselves
and for future generations after us.
