 Abstract

As a result of high-tech developments and the increase in the importance of the

global communication, social media websites and applications have occurred as a

new way of communication and self-expression in the contemporary world.

Globalization has forced people to obtain and spread the necessary information

quickly, and due to this requirement, people of all ages have had to acquire digital

skills which they utilize to meet their need of learning and being informed about the

issues happening around the world. Social media tools and applications are being

highly and commonly used all round the world by all kinds of people from all ages in

order to express themselves, get to know other people, share their opinions and

learn others' opinions on the world issues, socialize, and have fun. Regarding its

effects on children, social media has both advantages and disadvantages.

INTRODUCTION

Background and Rationale

Children’s has never been easy. But the widespread adoption of smart

phones and the rise of social media has introduced a new wrinkle to the challenges

of a child, those who have children.

According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in March, one of the

most highly discussed and debated topics among children today is screen time and

what impact will screens have on children’s development, the World Health

Organization issued guidelines last year on the amount of time young children

should spend in front of screens.

Nowadays, some parents with a child in this age range already believe their

child spends too much time on certain devices, including a smart phones. These

worries come at a time when it is fairly common for children of all ages to engage in

some way with digital devices, but there are wide age gaps parents who have an

older child, between the ages of 5 and 11 (46%), are more likely than parents with a

child age 3 to 4 or 2 or younger to say their child uses or interacts with type of

technology.

In our modern, tech-infused society, it seems like children are practically born

with a smart phone in their hands. How many of us has been toddlers sitting in their

strollers casually tapping and swiping on their parents? Although it is ultimately

depends on your parenting style, you can look to the American Academy of

pediatrics (AAP) as a guide. They recommended that children not to be exposed to

any technology before two years of age. Indeed, there are countless articles

regarding the harmful effects of exposing children to technology at very young

ages.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This statement seeks to identify the many positive benefits of media and

digital technology for children and adolescents, but also recognizes areas of concern

and it continues to increase dramatically as digital technology becomes more readily

available. Social media has become a common method of communication and online

gaming provides a further avenue for interaction.

and family and develop technical and creative skills. These sites facilitate connection

to a diverse and widespread group of people, providing a greater understanding of

global issue’s and it is evidence that engagement with digital delivery of material

allows children and young people to enhance and consolidate learning on an almost

inexhaustible range of topic.

being and children and young people who have access to media technology and who

take advantage of opportunities such as these could be enriched, especially where

this access is in the

context of other life experiences and opportunities the promote social interaction,

learning and exercise.

The children learn the importance of building communities and how to interact

with people in social situations.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the different literature and studies conducted that are relevant

to the present problem.

Related Literature

Today the availability of technology has increased, so to has the time people

spend consuming online content. Today’s children are born into a digital world,

where communications technologies and the internet are becoming increasingly

accessible. The growth in the use of such technologies is driven, in large part, by

the use of social media. According to Teresa Treviño, the use of social media can be

observed among all the age groups, and children are 90 percent of teenagers report

using social media on a daily basis, one in ten children’s own a mobile device, like

smart phones or tablet by the age of five.

The children participated in the study discusses the social media platforms

most commonly used by children and finds that the online content consumed by

children influences their purchases in a way that can result in tangible marketing

outcomes, such as increased Demand for trending products, as well as the creation

of new products and services. The findings suggest that they would do well do

identify the social media platforms used by the Segment.

Children used social media it is a big part of social and creative life for preteens

and teenagers use social media to have fun, and maintain friendship, share and learn

interests, explore identities and develop relationship with friends and with family, In

addition to problematic digital behavior, there may be changes in children’s daily

behavior at home Like increased irritability, increased anxiety, lack of self esteem.

7
 According to Luhmann, Niklas 2000, children use technology and social media is to

share of ideas thoughts, and information through visual networks and communities.

Social media is based and gives users quick electronic communication of the

content, such as personal information, documents, videos, and photos. The children

engage of social media via computer, tables or smartphones by web based software

or applications.

The power of social media is the ability to connect to share information with

anyone on earth, or with many people simultaneously. There are more than 3.8

billion user of children using technology and social media between the age of 18 and

29 use for business or posting and etc, to know that the children know more about

using of technology.

The computerized of technology and social media that the young children can

learn reading skills through images and video. They can strengthen their math skills

by learning data computing through technology. Children can also improve their

social skills by learning how to communicate in a concise fashion (Oct 18, 2013).

Social Media is a vast network that includes various modes of communication

with clients. It consists of email, instant messaging, social networking,

telecommunications, blogs, videoconferencing, online business meetings and much

more. Social media has become an indispensable part of a business as it is a very

convenient way to communicate and get the work done. Social media has gained

much more importance as technology too is becoming more user-friendly. There has

been a growth in social-based operating systems and software applications. It is

evolved as a desired place to display brands. Businesses wish to promote their

brands online as social media has a notable influence on consumer's purchasing

decisions. It offers the convenience of finding and has become the best place to

gather insights about the buying behavior of consumers. With the ever-growing

competition, businesses do not want to miss out on the social media bit. Sometime

8
back, the only purpose of social media was to get in traffic, but now as a huge

influence factor. Brands can easily interact with a new audience more quickly and

easily. (Stefan Thurairatnam 2015).

Centralized social media continues to breach our trust. Seemingly benign quizzes

and games leak our data and our friends’ data to huge organizations with vote

garnering and money-making motives. News feeds don’t provide accurate and

well-rounded perspectives on current events. Advertisers stalk us from one website

to the next.Fortunately, a wave of visionary of our current social media framework

through decentralization. Here’s an overview of the problems with the most popular

platforms and how they might be solved (The Technology and social media 2019).

Related Studies

A study conducted in International Education Studies is an attempt to

examine resources and interaction with academicians in higher education institutions

across the boundary wall, a hitherto unexplained area of research. This empirical

study is based on the survey of 360 students of a university in eastern India,

cosigning students’ perception on social media and mobile devices through

collaborative learning, interactivity with peers, teachers and it has a significant impact

on students’ academic performance.One important way to help them stay safe while

using social media is to monitor their usage. Just like when our children spend time

with their friends in real life, we need to know what they are doing and who they are

talk to through social media platforms.

According to the Agencies using social media as a practice tool is a relatively

new approach. Organizations serving youth and families have recognized that the

use of social media has spread greatly among the populations they serve. Although

social media can be used to improve the effectiveness of working with children and

families, it also presents Challenges,
