Les enfants et la nouvelle technologie

Les téléphones portables, à quel âge pour les enfants?

Les téléphones portables, à quel âge pour les enfants?

Presque tous les élèves capables de lire et écrire possèdent aujourd’hui un téléphone portable. Ce gadget est certes très utile, mais semble véritablement s’immiscer dans la vie de nos enfants. Le téléphone portable est le moyen de communication idéal, il est rapide, facile à utiliser, et permet de communiquer en temps réel. Mais d’un autre côté, il s’agit également d’un objet dangereux, pouvant nuire à la santé des enfants. Une étude montre que l’organisme d’un enfant de moins de 10 ans n’est pas encore prêt pour l’usage d’un téléphone portable, en raison d’une absorption trop importante des ondes émises par l’appareil. Ainsi, des maladies pourraient survenir à force d’une utilisation trop fréquente. Mais comment empêcher les enfants de les utiliser ? Une chose est sûre, moins les portables disposent d’options, moins ils sont attrayant pour les enfants. Ainsi, évitez autant que possible d’offrir à vos enfants un gadget de haute technologie qui risque d’endommager son cerveau. Sachez que le portable n’est pas recommandé pour un enfant de moins de 10 ans.

Les dangers de l'Internet

Les enfants et l'internet

Comme la vie réelle, le net recèle de nombreux pièges pour ces chères têtes blondes. Voici comment s'y préparer lorsque l'on n'y connaît rien. Sexe, violence, drogue, racisme, jeu d'argent, mauvaise rencontre sur un forum de discussion: les enfants sont les victimes faciles des contenus douteux. Pénétrant au sein du foyer familial, la toile est devenue le terrain de jeu des jeunes qui s'échangent musiques et fichiers vidéo en peer-to-peer, racontent leur vie par l'intermédiaire des blogs (journaux intimes) et se créent des réseaux d'amis sur les messageries instantanées ou les chats. Un tiers d'entre eux seraient confrontés à des images choquantes sur le web. Les parents s'avèrent souvent désemparés face à des bambins devenus plus experts qu'eux en matière de navigation. Le danger peut provenir de l'utilisation la plus anodine d'un moteur de recherche. Ainsi, une requête pour le mot «chatte» les conduira à coup sûr vers des sites pornographiques. Le spam (envoi massif de mails non sollicités) s'avère également une porte d'entrée vers des sites réservés aux adultes. De même, les forums et autres blogs attirent les adolescents en quête de rencontres. Difficile de surveiller la moindre de leurs conversations. L'univers du jeu en ligne n'est pas exempt de risques non plus, notamment pour les parties les plus violentes où les participants communiquent des informations en direct, soit par message écrit soit par micro-casque. Face à cette évolution des mœurs, il convient pour les parents d'adopter la bonne attitude, sans diaboliser internet. Ce formidable outil et moteur social doit rester encadré. Aux parents de se montrer vigilants comme ils le sont dans la rue. Des solutions de filtrage existent. Certaines fournies par les éditeurs d'antivirus s'avèrent relativement efficaces. Les pouvoirs publics désirent maintenant décliner ces précautions dans l'univers du téléphone mobile. Il ne faut toutefois pas s'alarmer inutilement. Un pédophile ne se cache pas derrière chaque site internet. Le dialogue et l'encadrement restent prépondérants pour préparer l'enfant aux dangers qui le guettent. Fasciné par le monde des adultes, celui-ci cherche d'ailleurs souvent de façon volontaire à se frotter aux interdits. On n'hésitera pas non plus à restreindre les horaires d'utilisation au moyen d'un logiciel approprié : cela afin d'éviter les risques d'une addiction aux jeux en ligne ou à la messagerie instantanée

There is a distribution balanced between all types of use: 19% of time is thus reserved for the video game, 16% to the viewing of video and 15% listen to music, detailed study. More generally, GfK said that proposals from manufacturers remain diversified to address all levels of technical characteristics and price. However, it is on the size of the content, better integrated and optimized, that offers innovative, points out, believing that through applications stores, offering content becomes more readable and allows the consumer to take full advantage of the various options proposed through the tablet.

Safety of children on the Internet

The Internet is, for children, a way interesting to learn, have fun and discuss with their classmates, or simply a place for relaxation and exploration. But just like the real world, the world of the Internet can be dangerous for children, especially with respect to the cyber pedophilia and cyber bullying.

Before allowing your child to navigate alone, it is essential to establish a number of rules and it is for you, parents, that the responsibility to monitor what your children do with their computer. Here are a few safety tips to guide your children on the Internet:

Learn how Internet. The best way to know how your child uses the Internet is interest you and navigates with him;

The technology is not to link us?

Smartphone

Since several years, our dependence on electricity has become almost total. A simple power outage for a few minutes, and our world is turned upside down. This form of liability it is added the arrival of equipment and daily tools become indispensable for some, such as the Internet or the Smartphone. And other slavery-like technologies are being developed, we driving a little further still into a mi-submit mi-accepted enslavement. But these go too far? Would it not reach the limits of the unreasonable? A still greater dependency. Today, the Google giant wants that your car lead you alone to the desired location. Nokia, for its part, would be attempted to tattoo to communicate with your phone. Some companies even States could even push their customers/citizens to implement an RFID chip under their skin, either for practical questions for the first or security for the latter. And many other examples could be cited. Overall philosophy, which is not new, is a tender to desire more comfort, timeliness, of simplicity, of a multiplication of uses, even more handouts. The Smartphone is currently the best representative: always lighter, more powerful, faster and easier to use. As these products are improving, we become in logically more dependent. It is of course possible to do not use electricity, or watch television, play games, use internet and phone, but today, make such a cessation gives the impression of a regression more than anything else. With a few exceptions, we tend therefore to strengthen, each day a little more, our channels related to our technological cannonballs. This submission is however not a problem if she remains conscious. Have the necessary retreat on this subordination can thus reflect on maximization of the tools, and ways to reduce this dependence. It can also and especially used to imagine non-technological alternatives credible, capable of only our thirst for information and characterized procrastination. In short, deal with our flight forward to still more technology, perhaps we could put in question our current paradigm, where technology can have answer to everything from education to the fight against terrorism, through communication, health and many other topics. Add to all this the importance of differentiation between technology to aid work, personal development, or simply at the entertainment, and the technology that fuels the assistantship, the intellectual regression as physics, and by corollary, a dependency that is beyond the scope of the technical and practice.

-A dangerous auto-submission:

Today, don't know well write in pen by typing the keyboard is not dramatic in itself even if very regrettable, as no longer know how to properly fold a traditional paper newspaper, don't know how to use a road map or even remember the phone numbers of friends and family. Technology, for the sake of ease, however could have perverse, invisible and painless first effects. Tomorrow, some know perhaps more drive by themselves to reduce the number of accidents. May not choose more food, but will be strongly advised by a technology to improve their health. Maybe it will more walk by them, even to go home to the car or public transport because it is less tiring. Perhaps should they necessarily use their subcutaneous RFID chip for any action, even pass a simple door for their safety? Technology must be at the service of man, will know we say stop when she will tend to become his master?

Intel hopes to sell 20 to 30 Ultrabooks million in 2012

HP Folio 13

The Ultrabooks, these ultra notebook computers, lightweight, powerful, and therefore quite expensive, time they the same success than netbooks? According to internal forecasts Intel revealed by DigiTimes, the purpose would be to take between 20 and 30 million units this year, to double or even triple the levels of sales in 2013.

-The HP Folio 13: Cheaper and more advanced, the new Ultrabook comes

Is the American Intel, bringing his arm end baby, too optimistic? Launched last year to compete with products like the MacBook Air from Apple, the Ultrabook must still satisfy consumers. Price/usefulness/quality not always was positive, even if this should change in the future. Partners Intel, Acer, ASUS, HP, Lenovo, Gigabyte, Toshiba, Sony and Samsung, should indeed offer this year more in addition to Ultrabooks under $1000 or under the $700, which will accelerate sales. The tariff argument to add the Ivy Bridge of Intel and material improvements in the future Ultrabooks planned for the coming months. Finally, the launch of Windows 8 should have a positive impact on the sales of these machines. This will suffice to reach 20 or even 30 million units this year? If to CNet, the Ultrabook is already a stillborn product, for Techcrunch, it is premature to announce the failure of these products. The positive developments of the Ultrabooks should enable them to be successful. Sold between 30 and 40 million units in their sky, netbooks have since year last competition of touch tablets with the ultrabooks. While in 2008, forecasts projected on more than 50 million netbooks this year 2012, it will be finally nothing. Should elapse in only 30 large million maximum.
