How ipods effect kids lives
By: Jennifer Wilson

There are many effects that ipods have on kids’ lives. Some of the effects are negative and some are positive. Some of the effects include less physical activity, less social interaction with others, and there is the ability to do more on the ipods. There are also some ipod classes at some schools which lets the students put their homework or lesson plans onto the ipods so that they can access them at home.

Ipods were invented and made by a company called apple. The company had no idea how popular the ipods were going to be. The popularity of ipods has escalated from the year 2005 which was known as the year of the ipod, up until now.

Apple has also made a lot of different types of ipods such as the ipod shuffle, nano, video, and touch. There are also different sizes, capacities, and colours that you can get your ipod in. You can get an ipod in silver, blue, pink, black, etc. As well as the different colours you can also get different capacities such as 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 10 GB, 12 GB, etc. The apple companies’ latest invention is the iphone which is a combination of the ipod touch and a cell phone.


As a result, I think that ipods can be very useful and can have positive effects on children’s lives, but they can also have negative effects. Therefore ipods are an okay type of technology for kids to have because if the children use the ipods responsibly and reasonably ipods can be very useful.

Question: Do you think that young children should be exposed to ipods and other electronics. Why or why not?

Yes i think that they should be exposed to ipods and stuff becuase then they might feel that they are forbidden to use them. If they feel that they are forrbiden to use them they might abuse their privledge to use them. I know that some parents let their children watch inapropriate movies because they want them to know that they are allowed to sdee them as long as they don't abuse the privelidge.

Yes i do think they should because it keeps them busy and electronics are fun,but,if you get really addicted to them you will not get enough exercise and then you probably will gain weight over time.
