As a new generation of children begins to flow in so does the new technology. Never would I have have thought to see children playing with iPads and asking for their parents phone for entertainment but it is here. they have even made iPad cases specifically for children. Before reading this article I felt it is extremely important for parents to educate their children on media literacy if they ask questions or not. Most often when children want to listen or watch something inappropriate parents often revert back to the old saying, “because I said so.” Hopefully this can change as parents it is an important duty to thoroughly inform children on right and wrong as things on television and radio can often be misinterpreted. If parents are not educating their children these children are going to learn it somewhere else and it may not be the most accurate information. Unfortunately media habits have become an issue where less and less children are playing outside in the street or down at a friends house rather they are communicating via online games and not getting much exercise besides their thumbs.
