Indlela Yokunciphisa Isikhathi Sesikrini futhi uthathe Ukulawulwa Kwemithombo Yezindaba
Izingane zichitha isilinganiso samahora angaphezu kuka-7/2 ngosuku ngokusebenzisa ama-electronic media, okuhlanganisa i-TV, i-intanethi, imidlalo yevidiyo namadivayisi eselula, ngokusho kombiko ka-2010 we-Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
Ukukubeka ngenye indlela, lokho kusho ukuthi izingane zixhunyiwe zibe uhlobo oluthile lwedivaysi ye-elektronike ngamahora angaphezu kwama-53 ngesonto, isikhathi esiningi kunabantu abaningi asebekhulile abachitha emsebenzini, cwaninga abacwaningi.
Ama-Yikes. Futhi uma kuqubuka okuningi njengokubukela i-TV ngenkathi kuvuliwe i-intanethi, inamba iya emahoreni angu-10 nemizuzu engu-45. I-yikes kabili.
Ucwaningo lwezingane ezineminyaka engu-8 kuya kwezingu-18 luphinde lwathola ukuthi izingane ezinabantu abathintekayo bemithombo yezindaba zivame ukuba namamaki aphansi kunabantwana abasebenzisa ukukhanya. Futhi abangaphansi kwesigamu sezingane (amaphesenti angu-46) babike ukuthi banemithetho mayelana nokuthi yiziphi izibonisi ze-TV ezingabuka. Amaphesenti angu-30 kuphela ezingane zabazali ababeka imithetho mayelana nemidlalo yevidiyo abangayidlala futhi amaphesenti angu-26 kuphela anemithetho mayelana nomculo abangawulalela.
Lokhu kuyihlazo ikakhulu ngoba uma abazali bebeka noma yimiphi imithetho yemidiya, izingane zitholakale zichitha isikhathi esincane kakhulu kubo. Izingane abazali babo ababeka imithetho yemidiya bachitha cishe amahora amathathu ngaphansi kwamadivaysi kagesi kunabantwana emakhaya abangenamthetho wezindaba.
Konke lokhu ukusetshenziswa kwe-elekthronikhi kuzodingeka ukwandise njengoba abafundi besikolo bekhula bese beqala ukushaya iminyaka yabo ephakathi.
Yini abazali abangabantwana abancane abangayenza manje ukuze baqiniseke ukuthi asikhulisi isizukulwane sabantwana abaxhunyiwe kumadivayisi futhi balungiselelwe abantu?
Okokuqala, singabuka ukusetshenziswa kwethu kwezindaba. Ngiyazi ukuthi kuye kwadingeka ngizikhumbuze okungaphezu kwezikhathi ezimbalwa ukuhamba kude kwikhompyutha noma ngomakhalekhukhwini futhi ngikhulume nomntwana wami ubuso nobuso, ikakhulukazi uma "isikhathi somndeni" -amahora ngaphambi nje nangemva kokudla kwesikhathi sokudla lapho sisekhona ukugqoka umsebenzi wesikole futhi ukulungela isidlo noma ukulala.
Futhi singakwazi ukuvala i-TV uma singaboni uhlelo oluthile, noma cisha umsakazo isikhathi esithile sokufunda esithulile. Ekhaya lethu, siyeka ukubhalisela eminyakeni yekhebula edlule, futhi sebenzisa kuphela i-TV yemidlalo ye-Wii noma ukubukela amaDVD. Angikwazi ukukutshela ukuthi kungakanani okwenziwe umehluko ongenawo amathengisi futhi "izindaba zokuphula" zihlasela njalo isikhala sethu. (Kunalokho, sithola izindaba zethu kwi-intanethi, emaphephandabeni nasemaphepheni, futhi sithole omagazini bezindaba zezingane njengokuthi "Isikhathi Sezingane.")
Yiziphi izinyathelo ozithathile ekhaya lakho ukuze unciphise imidiya ye-elektroniki ? Ukusetshenziswa kwezindaba zezingane zakho kuqhathanisa kanjani nezinombolo zocwaningo ze Kaiser?
