I am mainly concerned about the lack of resources dealing with negative impacts of technology
on developing children on the Library website. I couldnt find any good article on why kids
dont go outside anymore I could only find articles on technology and children in general.
I have already found an article with a lot of data concerning different ages, races, and genders
but it was not through the library search engine so hopefully it is still creditable enough to use in
my research. I would like to find a creditable article form a parent that has experienced some
kind of issue with technology and their child not wanting to go outside because of it. I think this
first hand experience would really add some insight to my research.
