Effect of technology on children's creativity.

     Technology is something that has a lot of benefit. As our world keeps inventing great technological advancement, we can see that there are many wonderful inventions that are created by genius people. Nevertheless, has technology made the children less creative than they were in the past? In my opinion, i feel that technology has trigger up and develop the creativities in the children recently because technology expose children with complex thinking style, stimulate idea of improving and inventing something higher than its current level.

         First of all, we cannot be deny that technology expose the children with a complex thinking style. Technology like smartphones, computers, laptops and tablets are made up of complex system and compartments. In fact, the way to use technology is not simply simple as reading and writing, it requires knowledge about the system or interaction to run the technology. For instance, when a child is playing with a tablet, they need to understand the way of using it like touching the screen or tapping the buttons. With just reading what is displayed on the screen cannot simply make the tablet to function. They need to understand the interaction that requires making the tablet works. So, this will lead the children to be exposed with a complex thinking style that will increase the creativity in their mind.

          Moreover, technology stimulates the notion of improving and inventing something that is higher than its current level. Recently, there are many young inventors in the world that create technologies. When a children is using a technology like smartphones, they will try to improvise it by exploring the system and try to add something that is different and essential to the smartphones. With this, it will trigger up the creativity by trying to think out of box in improving the technology flaws. It is not impossible for the children to invent a new type of technology. For example, when a child uses a phone's camera that does not have flash on the camera, they will enthusiastically find out the flaws and something that can be add to the phone's camera which is the flash that we have today on our smartphones. So, this proves that the technologies can trigger up the creativity in children by inventing and improvising the inventions.

         As a conclusion, technology really gives out benefits to human being. It eases the way of living. It expose human with a complex thinking style and it perpetually make human keeps inventing and improvising the inventions. Thus, technology increase and trigger up the creativity in children more than in the past.
