Undoubtedly, the importance of technology in our lives is increasing day by day. The ability of people to keep up with developing technology is related to their correct and effective use of technology. Besides, it should not be forgotten that technological devices and internet usage are just tool for us. Although positive contributions are detected in the use of technology and internet interactions, especially for people in early childhood, negative effects may also be observed depending on the duration of exposure. For instance, thanks to the opportunities provided by technology, people in early childhood contribute to their language, cognitive or psycho-motor development. In addition to these positive features, the widespread use of technological tools has extremely harmful effects on the environment and human health. According to pedagogues, children between the ages of 2 and 12 are consumers of image/video contents on websites. When the contents watched/seen is not under the supervision of the parents, the subliminal message to be given may affect the development of children negatively. For the stated reasons, it is obvious that the videos/images uploaded in the web environment should be filtered and a content editor is required. In this study, a software was developed to prevent the negative aspects of technological interactions (computer, tablet, phone, internet) of people in early childhood. This developed software automatically tags the contents in the web environment with Ruby on Rails based video and image processing. Using automatic content tagging, personal content control can be performed by providing systematic control over the web 7/24. It is thought that this approach will contribute to strengthening the social communication of people in the early childhood and developing their imaginations. The accuracy of the Ruby on Rails based video and image processing application has been tested with various machine learning techniques in this study. Therefore, it can be said that the developed software will pave the way for children to be mentally, physically and sensually healthier. In this way, it will be possible to prevent various diseases (dyslexia, asperger syndrome, autism), which have increased in recent years and have been stated by some sources as technology based.
