Interaction in Children, in relation to Literature, and automatic solutions through Mobile Phones

… The interaction as feedback in the reciprocal communication between people, and leaving aside every principle of literature, mobile phones make direct impact on children.

The original investigations of the evolution of man have shown that he takes advantage of his abilities to transform the world, as well as satisfying his needs and facilitating adaptation in his environment. Every day, the progress and development of the creation of new technologies that demonstrate the progress and innovation of the quality and condition of human beings is more visible. One of the most used technological devices worldwide is mobile phones, and it is important to mention the influence they have on society, an influence that especially affects children, essentially because of their limited notion of life and reality .

Children, are active participants in this technological growth, show much interest to understand the operation of mobile phones, however, here plays a role fundamental supervision of parents in the training process of their children .

A study conducted in Berlin Germany, led by Dr. Rainer Riedel, has shown that prolonged use of mobile phones without parental supervision can increase the risk of suffering problems of concentration, distractions and hyperactivity, and the best measure to control this situation is to regulate and limit the use of mobile phones by parents, as well as that accompany their children in their formative process, carrying out other activities that favor the progress of their notion of life and reality .

Also, it should be borne in mind that the excess or imbalance of time offered to mobile devices can seriously affect the development of children, precisely because of their vulnerability to dependence on new technologies . On the other hand, the scientific and social research of the American Academy of Pediatrics showed that the exposure of small children to mobile devices can affect their sleep. He, his body weight, his cognitive and language development, and can even delay his emotional and social skills. The recommendation of the Academy focuses on parents interacting with their children to contribute to their development as a person .

It is very important that children have access to other means of information and socialization, because, considering their stage of growth and learning, they need to stimulate their intellectual capacity, and this is possible through interaction and their relationship with the environment, reducing deficiencies in the processes of thinking and development of their skills.

That said, it is important to mention that the notion as knowledge that is structured of something; and the experience, which is unique and individual in each person, directly affects thinking, producing a determination in the consciousness of children . For this reason, it is very important that children have access to other means of information and socialization, because they favor their integral formation process. The parents' task would be to accompany them to help them understand what they are living and observing, in order to apply a good judgment in their environment.

Now, a means of information and socialization essential for the development of human beings is literature . Literature is one of the most effective materials for the formation and development of personality ; and deep knowledge of the world around us and of ourselves. It is urgent and important that children establish a link with literature, because it allows them to store thoughts on the most enigmatic questions in the history of mankind; information about how our surroundings work, among other deeper realities of thought . In this way, children have conceptual and fundamental bases for the creation of new thoughts that will contribute to the development of human beings .

To conclude, it is very important to understand that technological and scientific innovations are part of human development ; and children, as pioneers of human life, require the intervention of various activities that contribute to the notion of life and reality ; His experience and characteristics of being human, and one of the most effective means is literature, which contributes to the development of broadening the vision and general and specific information in the different arguments in which humanity is involved and develops.
