En TikTok se ha viralizado la frase iPad Kid con la cual hacen diversos videos en los que se muestra a personas con su iPad mientras hacen diversas actividades diarias como comer, sin embargo pocos saben el contexto de esta palabra. De acuerdo a Urban Dictionary, un iPad Kid es todo aquella persona que siempre está realizando sus actividades diarias como desayunar o comer, estar en un restaurante, u otra actividad, teniendo a su lado siempre su iPad en el que ve películas o videos.
Esta nueva palabra surge con las nuevas generaciones que nacieron con la tecnología en su apogeo, y los papás le otorgan una tablet o un celular para que se entretengan mientras ellos realizan sus actividades como trabajar, realizar el aseo del hogar o cocinar.
“iPad Kids” and the future of early childhood development
Kids are frequently handed their device loaded with educational or entertaining games, YouTube and streaming services to provide the guardians with an excuse to lounge. Thousands of parents have shared horror stories about their child’s extreme behaviors when they attempted to limit or cut off their iPad usage.
However, YouTube wins the award for most brain activation, with thousands of channels, like “Cocomelon” and “Dave and Ava;” creating fast paced animations, there is no room for competition.
The “Cocomelon-Nursery Rhymes” channel has almost 130 million subscribers and produces video adaptations of classic, youthful stories, but the nature of the animations creates a powerful brain stimulant, almost drug-like, in young minds.
These YouTube pages targeted at young audiences brand themselves as educational and beneficial sources of entertainment to appease guardians, but the viewers are gaining little applicable knowledge from the videos. The typical animated story features scene changes every one to three seconds, flashing lights, deep color shades and memorable music.
Since young children are spending more time on their iPads than with parents, siblings or friends, they are showing a lack of emotional and social awareness. Around 70% of current parents admit to their child’s technology usage leading to a decrease in social skills and ability to form healthy relationships.
With their reliance on technology replacing the essential skills gained during a typical period of early childhood development, the new generation will be left without meaningful connections and a true sense of self in adulthood.
