Today
children are so advanced with the technology; they amaze us with their
smartness and quickness. First, technological conditions have changed
dramatically influencing what toddlers learn and do as they mature. Second,
while adult beliefs about children and child-rearing have changed over time,
certain basic ideas continue to exert a powerful influence.
These enduring beliefs have contributed to the
myth of children today being different. Technology conditions the brain to pay
attention to information very differently than reading. Video games and other
screen media improve visual-spatial capabilities, increase attention ability,
reaction times, and the capacity to identify details among clutter
What
does all this mean for raising your children? The bottom line is that too much
screen time and not enough other activities, such as reading, playing games,
and good old unstructured and imaginative play, will result in your children
having their brains wired in ways that may make them less, not more, prepared
to thrive in this crazy new world of technology.
Being father
of two has made me realize the differences between my generation then and the
generation now. We played cricket in the
actual field while my 6 year old son plays in his precious PC. While he was playing games online, I noticed
awkward message popping up with adult content! This was not at all appropriate
for his age and it could have been a bad influence until E-Kavach came to my
rescue and secured my internet.
I got to
know about E-Kavach from a blog I follow Ritika Kapoor. I came to know that it has so many
features in one package that one can’t resist signing up and making sure that
their children’s future is in secure hands. The first thing I did after reading
the blog is to go to E-Kavach website (http://www.yourekavach.com/) and look into the specialties offered. While going through
the website, I was amazed by the detail oriented approach they had taken to
build this platform. The features included Intelligent Web Filtering for
block specific web categories, sites, in appropriate content, set appropriate
time limits with time granularity, Application Management to know block
specific web categories, sites, in appropriate content, set appropriate time
limits, Access Control to use and easy to configure controls to
customize each child’s internet experience, Real-time alerts to monitor online activities of the
children real time all the time, Smart phone Notifications & Dashboard which
will send real time
notifications to your phone the moment any boundaries set by you have been
breached by your child, Multi user and flexible family definition to monitor
all your children by flexible family definition and Safe Search which
ensures that when your children are searching for anything online, the results
they get are appropriate and do not contain any adult, profane or objectionable
materials.
As I am
writing this blog, my son is playing online cricket and is not being bothered
by any of nuisance. Thank You E-Kavach, You have really made me and many
other parents proud by taking an immense responsibility off our shoulders.
