Reflections of Using Technology: Parental Views on Values That Tend to Be Degenerated with the Use of Technology

Abstract

Developments in information technology are affecting individuals and social life deeply. Technologic improvements and various features brought by such improvements effect the society in a number of ways like choice of interaction, access to information, humanitarian values, etc. These effects may be positive or negative. Besides, individuals are active in the face of information technology. Today, the effects of these indispensable technologies especially on children are a matter to be emphasized. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of children’s technology use on values and how this intensive use is reflected in human relations by the children, who are living together with the technology and therefore directly exposed to the effects of technology. The research has been based on the use of common information technologies such as computers, tablets, smartphones and the Internet. Semi-structured interview form was implemented by the researchers in this study which is designed by qualitative method. While the interview form was being prepared, opinions were taken from the relevant field experts to generate the final form. 11 parents were interviewed in this study. Qualitative data collected from participants were analysed by content analysis method. Research findings suggest that the majority of parents think that technology has adverse effects on children's attainment of values. Parents have stated that technology corrupts the value of sharing the most in children. Besides, according to parents, the content provided by technology should also include values to protect and sustain certain ones.
