Everyone missed their childhood? same as me. Remember when i just trough this life so easily and can smile everyday like no problem would harm me. Having many toys so that i can play everyday, it so enjoyed time. Before, my super beloved toys was megazord. Megazord are robot from Power Ranger's series that can united each other to form a great big robot. I was so enthusiasted with that things. It's so grateful to have a good childhood and it was because of our parent raised us with love. Thank you, Mom & Dad.
Back to the topic. Many differenciacies between childhood's before and now. Childhood's before didn't know many about technology such as smartphone. So they got their happiness by playing some convensional games like hide and seek and etc. Same like me before, they loved to bought many toys and played with it. But, many kids now have their own smartphone. In my journey when i wandered to everyplace, i saw many kids that hold smartphone and they were playing with that all the time. When also i visited my relatives in Medan, i just found that many cousin who still 8 years old were just sitting and playing with her smartphone. Wow, such as mindblowing to see now kids can understand technology so fast.
First thing, it's so cool when mankind now are capable to use technology so it will make their life easier and happier. I believe technology that've been found are being made to help mankind to trough this toughtful life. But, is it matter if human use technology not yet in time? What'll be happen to their mind? Many studied and researched about this case and they told that it would be harmful if human use technology such as smartphone so early. The biggest impact that can harmful is, use smartphone frequently can harm human brain and weakiling mind. Especially in our before case, it's so dangerous for kids to playing with their smartphone frequently. Also, it will affect their social live. The bad things will happen if they become anti-social and just focus on their gadget. If this case happened, it would be harder to empower them to raise awareness about their social life later.
When i visited Bandung 2 years ago, i suddenly happy because Bandung have many public spaces that can be used to play for a kids. One of my best part journey was when i visited Bandung's town hall. Such a good atmosphere that i felt in there. Surrounded by many trees would make us breath easily and fresh. There was mini-playground and many kids played on there. It was so happy to see many kids were playing each other and didn't playing gadget like i've met before. And also there was a small canal which contain clear water so many kids can playing on there without affraid getting sick. It's so rare to play on the water in the city because we know that many cities's river still contain polluted water. But Bandung made it happen. I hope that many cities can provide public space for kids so they can playing together and leave their gadget habit. I believe if many kids can live healthy, have a great intelligence's motoric and also happy, they can grow up and be a good and healthy adult later.
