Imagine that you possess the means and the knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood field. Imagine further that you are not restricted by the reality of the present. Imagine that your study will make a major positive contribution to the well-being of children and/or their families. What topic would you choose? What can you imagine the positive contribution(s) would be?
If I had the opportunity to conduct research about a topic in early childhood I would choose the long term effects of technology on children. At this point I am aware that obesity is one adverse effect of too much technology and little to no physical activity. I can't help but wonder how long use of electronics effect children’s vision and concept of reality long term.
The results of my research would show whether or not children's vision is effected by using elections in close range to eyesight. It would also show whether nor not violence in video games or on TV programming allow children to have a warped sense of reality. Is this why there has been an increase in violence in children; if children were not being exposed to these things how would it still be a problem in today's society?
