Comparing the impact in people’s lives over the last decade is like comparing night and day. Our overwhelming dependence on technology is one of the largest changes seen in modern society. As recently as ten years ago, it was uncommon for a child in school to own a mobile phone now almost every child not only owns a mobile phone but laptops, game systems and I Pods. Television has advanced radically over the last fifty years we have gone from watching silent, black and white movies to satellite dishes with hundreds of channels. Through the development of television we have learned about our surrounding environment in brilliant colour and sound. Consequently we are also bombarded by news, politics and the terrible events that occur in real time, to the extent that we have become immune in our reactions to developments around world. The increasing amount of time spent watching television and surfing the internet takes up a large portion of free time in comparison to previous decades and the growth spent using this technology is attributed to the growing obesity problems in today’s society. We are much more dependent on amenities such as technology and fast food and this is contributing to an overall unhealthy lifestyle.

...What Do Adults Think about Young People? by Joel Tolman Perceptions of young people are remarkably negative Most Americans look at today’s teenagers with misgivings and trepidation, viewing them as undisciplined, disrespectful and unfriendly...And people apply these criticisms to children across a broad economic spectrum, to children from disadvantaged backgrounds as well as to children from the middle and affluent classes. These words, taken from a 1997 Public Agenda survey and confirmed by a 1999 follow-up study, are disheartening.1 But while we may experience shock and disappointment when reading the results of these studies, few of us are surprised. These results are part of a larger story about young people — how we view their roles and the expectations we have of them — and are indicative of a larger narrative that casts many young people as less than full citizens. In effect, we, as a society, are telling young people that they lack the capacity to play meaningful roles in our communities. This story — this pattern of low expectations — is endemic rather than epidemic. It exists steadily and lastingly, rather than temporarily. This story is part of our folkways: we can find examples from Renaissance France, a newly independent United States, and last week’s newspaper. We can trace the story back to the psychological theories of Freud, Erickson and others that emphasize the sturm und drang (storm and stress) of adolescence, and to a shifting economy...

...Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) refers to the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the fields of socioeconomic development, international development and human rights. The theory behind this is that more and better information and communication furthers the development of a society. Aside from its reliance on technology, ICT4D also requires an understanding of community development, poverty, agriculture, healthcare, and basic education. Richard Heeks suggests that the the I in ICT4D is related with “library and information sciences”, the C is associated with “communication studies", the T is linked with “information systems", and the D for “development studies”.[1] It is aimed at bridging the digital divide and aid economic development by fostering equitable access to modern communications technologies. It is a powerful tool for economic and social development.[2] Other terms can also be used for "ICT4D" or "ICT4Dev" ("ICT for development") like ICTD ("ICT and development", which is used in a broader sense[3]) and development informatics. ICT4D can mean as dealing with disadvantaged populations anywhere in the world, but it is more seen with applications in developing countries. It concerns with directly applying information technology approaches to poverty reduction. ICTs can be applied directly, wherein its use directly benefits the disadvantaged population, or indirectly, wherein it can assist aid organisations or...
