This is an extract from our school project.

Technological advances ¿Distraction?

In our present, we find many social problems, among them we can not rule or make less excess or misuse of various new technological advances. Have you noticed how much time you spend it? Currently we can see in the streets people who carry their phone in their hands, they can get home and what they do is turn on the television despite continuing with his gear in hand. This has become a problem with young people, although the use of social networks has been a breakthrough that has given us issues to instantly communicate and share more fluidly both news and events, gossip, recommendations, notices, etc.
 The misuse of these devices is based on the excess committed by not giving it the importance it deserves everything and to give more of your time to things that are not always leave you a good thing, unless you're dealing with a way strategic to help you learn or study or if the race which you want to belong to a branch of science communication and must be communicated to every minute, this will help you be more informed.
The problem lies in the moment rather than use this to your advantage, only you use it at leisure and just be wasting your time instead of nourish your brain.
To me it motivated me to take this issue by the fact that for a long time had belonged to these people who waste a lot of time at leisure and well put aside things important as homework, work or study for a test.
Causing leisure is that you believe have nothing to do, your mind takes that idea and you could say "forget" because the reality is that only you delude yourself knowing you have homework to do or jobs that deliver or studying for an exam, you blocks completely and makes you forget reality is an escape from reality, for example in plasmas games you want to do but can not, then prendes the game and feel like you're in the game when the reality is a mere fantasy.
On television soap operas are an example in which you can see the ladies see them in order to escape his reality thinking that someday will come a man with both physical characteristics such as sentimental. In the current social networking is wasting time making jokes about anything that is or has happened through images, videos, status, etc.
The unknown on our problem What youth think and how based on our questions can reflect?
As I mentioned above, my goal is to know about the misuses that has been given to new technology mainly it lies in the youth even though we currently see equally to older people using such devices or in given case tools. This that had been created for a purpose of support in order to perform other activities more work, has become a support to give more time to leisure and activities without any importance.
The problem is not so much bad utility, but is more like the misuse of time for everything because you have to give more time for leisure activities that real concerns and this is where problems come both to concentrate and pay attention to motivate you to do things. Any item that is used during the work that is not directly related to it could become a potential distraction. Usually they object to try to escape from the activity of effort in the study, small gestures or behaviors that make them lose valuable time.
Each student has their little "strategies" used to distract .. I must say that the students manage to surprise with new things constantly. We do not know everyone, but we will refer to the most common:
Mobile phone: As many students get older, the acquisition and use of mobile is becoming commonplace in our society and increasingly younger ages. The need for many of constantly "connected" to their friends through missed calls, messaging or social networks, makes if this occurs during the time of study, is a seriously distracting element.
Computer: We are keener, if possible, have the computer in a common area of the home, as an element that unites the family rather than separates. If this is not possible, it is good to make sure that is off during periods of study.
Television: Increasingly, unfortunately, many students have a personal TV in your room. If you often and raise many doubts the effectiveness of this measure, more so if it is on during periods of study. It would be very positive, given this situation, the stable and rational use of such television regulation.
Misuse that is given to technological advances is the reason why young people have such academic distraction.


a survey of young people aged 15-19 years was conducted to determine whether the problem is true and if it can create awareness to it.
1. How much of your time spend on electronic devices such as cell phone, iPod, tablet, computer, video games or television?

 

Clearly we can realize that it is a problem that 0% of young people can not even be without phone or any other device, most of them spend most of their sticking to some apparatus time, the sums are cumbersome if we consider the ages in which is being generated.
2. Does the constant use you consider it a problem?

Most young people create a little awareness that the time given is not correct and that you can be part of an addiction, but many of them provide that a simple time management would be enough to not happen a disgrace, academically speaking how may be the lack of attention and that leads to reprove subjects. The small group of people who mentioned is not a problem is very personal argument and can even be taken as a justification to their waste some time.


3. Have you communicated with your family being present in your house?

 
There is a certain yes on the answers, it is unheard of a few meters taking your family you communicate with them via electronic devices and is something that can not be taken lightly. They were few, but at least there are some who still say they have never used devices to communicate with other members of his family.
4. Pointing devices you use in your house:


The devices used are mostly all mentioned are television, Ipod. DVD, video games, phone, Tablet. This means that lately has prioritized him or has given priority to electronic devices.
5. Have you used simultaneously some devices? Which?
 
What do you mean you are not satisfied with using the equipment, most of our day but also there is a simultaneous present and that has become a bad habit that having the phone in hand, it is no longer considered to be glued to an apparatus and that is why it becomes easy to be reviewing the phone in your program commercials.


6. Have you stopped studying for an exam to be playing video games or watch a TV show?
 
While acknowledging the magnitude of their problem and have some dependence on gadgets, even you can not give it all lost, because they have plus they answered that they have not left side studies have mentioned the importance of being well organized not to fall into excesses.

7. Do your parents you have drawn attention for realizing your time spent on it?
 
Apparently, most of the parents have been worried about their children and not have left them alone in this process do need aid and thus not fall. At their parents have not drawn attention, we can only conclude that they are inattentive and try to change their charitable time with them, let them be all the time on the device.
8. Do you think that using these devices can make your school performance down?
 
This part was a little more evenly the dispute and the answers were similar, arguing that it is a distraction and a waste of time and some just put there that depends on how you use you in your life, if you please or against you.
9. In your family all use these devices?
We can realize that it is no longer exclusive use of young people, but also because the presence of parents in all of these devices is included. I would not hesitate to these parents who spend equally on phones are equally not those who have something to tell your children about the time they spend with these devices.
10. How often?
 
Despite to have more needs in new developments, parents is what they spend less time and you can even compare the graphs to determine that adults but are not totally excluded from this issue, if scarcer by their part because they know their priorities and draw not only realize them.
As I have been mentioning since the beginning of work, most youth know about this issue and knows what is wrong and what is right, has use of awareness however not used or not justified because the results in their respective surveys they have come out with too many hours spent at leisure within the apparatus, despite knowing that being too long is harmful in several ways.
These devices such as video games, television, phone, etc. They are often causing low yields in young, academically and this can be noticed in high school 2 very easily because you can go see for yourself the number of students who are inside playing on these machines, we can draw a probability of which have free time and how many are "killing class" just to be playing there. Now, is not entirely the fault of these devices that promote distraction, is more problem everyone because well you manage your time to be well in school and to play some day or to watch TV, but meeting in school part it is just the thing to give time and space to everything.
Television is not a total distractor because in it we have the free choice of what it is we want to see and that's where it comes again my answer that the fault of the individual, because we know that there are channels in which their programs are about general culture and nothing tedious, in fact they are very entertaining and in some cases even have some comedy in it. Seeing "nonsense" or on television and depends on each person as I have already mentioned although it is lower that does not have the mindset to know how to choose what to see and what not, is where parents come and they are the ones that should guide the infant to promote their education.
Within the cell, increasingly it becomes more common to find people almost all day with his cell phone in hand although it is not communicating with someone I do not think that a businessman is fine unless you're already and I really need it, now just what you should use for communication which is the purpose for which it had been created, now we know that there are other types of distractions that deserve a job used only for cell within the cell, with the advent of social networks has been implemented distractor is that there is a certain dependency to be informed min to min of what is happening around you, the problem is the type of information they want to access or are accessing because lately it is seeing information to see what happened to your favorite artist or why they are doing outsmart a celebrity and not really informative texts such as the crisis that is currently living Greece, which is one of the countries with cultural wealth and historical.


New technological advances, such as television, cellular and video games mainly tend to be a source of distraction for young people today who can not concentrate because they are playing or watching a program or checking the cell and all applications including .
Has been used as an excuse for underachievement of young that are using these devices, when the reality is that you can use that can not prohibit, the problem is when you do too much and remember that all excesses they are bad, causing this excess is now a need to be connected to the different event that are happening are relevant or not.
It starts to become a certain dependence also be in video games, which embody what most want to make at that time and that is why they are lost very easily the notion as it is that, an escape from reality and you get your world where a great effort to achieve what you want at that time rather than fight in reality what you want and instead of living it virtually live it in reality and satisfaction do not need to be higher because you well you know that this is real.
Problems always stuck to apparatus has much to do with the care they give parents to their son because before hand we know that many parents try to justify their absence to work and what they do to keep for now "happy" your child is to buy something to keep you entertained for them to perform their daily activities. Being from small encouraged to play, the child will grow when all you want to do and if parents then realize the evil they did to that child will be too late.
For me the problem lies mainly in parents and care you can provide, they know what you do, how you spend your time and also they support you from experience if what you do is right or need to correct some aspects balance plus the balance towards what is most important at the time, there's always time to meet your interests equally to academics, but must be clear what is most important and what you should give more of your time so we can rid ourselves of this social problem that is growing every day and is the last thing we want to happen, but right now that our country is living.
