As to whether technology has made children less creative than they were in the past, my opinion and reasoning like this: technology is the outcome of development of human culture and wisdom, which gives us agood opportunity to teach children and inspires their creativity. Technology is one thing and another important factor is what kind of personalities thechildren have and what kind of methods their parents will use to teach them.
First and foremost, technology provides different kinds of method to make children more creative. Have you ever imagined there will be television program, computer software and online programs which make teaching methods more effective? I have seen one of my friends used the cartoon programs to teach her litter daughter to learnEnglish. If without the development of technology, the learning process will become more boring and unattractive.
In the second place, technology has actually changed our life mode and makes it more colorful. Comparing my childhood withthe situation nowadays, just let the facts speak to themselves. When I was achild, the television program showed on a black and white screen which only told me some stories and the educational aspects of the television has not been exposed. The information I received from the outside world was apparently limited. In this situation, it was not helpful for activating a child's creativity. On the contrary, I have seen one of the American popular children’s programs called "sesame Street" recently which used vivid pictures and animated cartoon to spread the knowledge to children in an active way.
Finally, every coin has two sides. Some people may think that technology will constrain children’simagination to some extent, since they think if we depend on technology too much the potential of children’s creative ability will not be fully expressed. What is more important, technology is the outside factor to make children more creative. The basic element is children'spersonality. Some children have not interested in the novelty and unwilling tolearn more. What kind of methods their parents will apply to stimulate them, undoubtedly,technology seems to be an effective measure.
Hence, we are able to clearly say that technology plays more and more important part to make children creative than it did before. We all witness the development of the technology.And in the foreseeable future, technology will be propelled by new creative generations continuously.
