Teens and Technology

Our students have different opinions concerning Technology and its use in their lives.

Here are some of those opinions . . .

Hello! My name is Beatriz, and I'm 14 years old. Well, being a person who's on the mobile 24 hours a day, I have much to say about this. First things First, I don't have any social media where I can share my private life, I only have Pinterest, Spotify and Youtube. I use pinterest to find inspiration for a few things, like my drawings! When I don't know what to draw I open pinterest and start searching for inspiration. Spotify is also my inspiration fountain! Sometimes the music "touches your heart" and makes it explode with inspiration. And last but not least, Youtube. When I'm feeling sad or depressed, I see video that I like the most! And with that I feel a lot better.

I use my phone every day to talk with my friends on Whatsapp, because I don’t have Instagram, or Tik tok, or Facebook. I have one computer, and I use it to watch videos on Youtube or play games, for example Minecraft, but I use especially for listen music, I love listening to music, at time I use it for drawing, too. But I don’t use very much technology and social media. I use more time for playing with my brother or study, and listen to music. I also have a tablet, but I don’t use it because I use my computer for complete works in classroom. Miguel A.

I usually use a lot of social media like Instagram, Whatsapp and Youtube but I don’t use Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok. I use my social media to communicate with friends and family, to watch videos to have fun, to see some things that I would want to buy and to see news about the things I like.

I use a lot of electronic devices. I use my phone to check my social media, and to talk with friends. I use my computer to watch videos on Youtube, my tablet and my Playstation to play games, my school computer to do works for school and my television to watch TV.

Using a lot of technology doesn’t mean that we are addicted but we all need to moderate the use of technology!
