advantages and disadvantages of using technology and social media platforms at a young age - Google Search

# data[].attributes.body
Technology and Social Media Platforms are useful and can help us in many ways as long as they are used properly and not too much especially for people at a young age for they are still in the process of exploring, curiosity, learning and still in need of strict guidance. People at a young age must not rely on technology all the time. They also need to learn to do things on their own like doing house chores, walking instead of riding a bike or communicating/interacting personally instead of just using mobile phones. It is more convenient and efficient but we must not be dependent to it.
