The Trend Of The IKids – Technology And Children
I think it is quite odd to note the kinds of Christmas presents that children expect to get these days. Whilst on the train to work this morning, I overheard two young boys (who couldn’t have been older than 13) comparing their models of iPod before discussing what’s in store for them on 2010′s 25th of Dec.
On the list of Christmas requests were iPod touches (their Nano models were no longer good enough apparently), £900 (!) iPads, huge capacity memory hard drives, as well as the less expensive gift of a portable DVD player. One of the kids also mentioned netbooks so that he could (and I quote) “check [his] emails before school.” The boy is barely a teenager; I doubt anything in his life is that pressing that non-immediate internet access would be crippling!
I think that it’s great that children are being exposed to the latest technology early because – let’s face it – technology will only get more complex as these two children get older and having a good understanding of these developments will be of paramount importance. But it is important to note that a bog standard MP3 player would do exactly the same job as their beloved (and overpriced) iPods yet it wouldn’t prevent their parents being able to afford to replace the broken washer dryer or pay January’s gas bill.
It is also true that the more you give a child, the more that they will expect in the years to come. I find it odd that whilst these kids are wasting their youth talking about gigabytes and digital downloads, at the same age I was discussing Pogs and Pokemon. Does this reflect on decreasing childhood innocence, or is this just a mark of the techno-times? Regardless, I contend that parentals should stop spoiling their kids a £100 iPod is not a suitable present for a pre-teen.
