The documentary discusses the effects of technology on children.
I like the content of this documentary; it is very informative, especially the explanation about what kids lose out on when they use technology. I also like how the film first explores younger children and works its way up to the effects on older children and teenagers.
The camerawork is quite suitable and smartly focuses on each subject at a time. The scene showing children making videos, rather than watching them, was particularly well done. The sets and locations are very suitable; the setting at a tech-free school stood out to me because it is such a unique idea. The background music is well used as segues between scenes. The subjects interviewed are varied in terms of age and background, from teens to adults, developmental psychologists and parents. All of them introduce interesting perspectives and are fully realized people. I commend the director for keeping the film cohesive. A film with such a broad topic easily could feel disjointed and disconnected, but director keeps the film well focused while keeping the film engaging. The film addresses early childhood development and how technology might impact a developing brain. My favorite part of the film is the ending, which encourages parents to take an active role in their child's development. I like this documentary because it is so informative and eye-opening, especially to teenagers. We are the first generation to have this amount of technology and there are so many things we don't know about it and its effects on children.
The message of the film is a warning of potential dangers of technology.
I give #KidsOnTech 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 6 to 18, plus adults. By Sandrine A., KIDS FIRST!
