Excerpts from ‘Growing Up Wired’ by Dr. Quenna Lee-Chua

Digitech Visayas Web Poster_Updated as of 110714“For Digital natives, the ones who are immersed in multimedia today, the need for speed and the tendency to be distracted, are amplified.”

“We can fight the deterioration of our brains in simple ways. Let us maintain an active social life in the real world. Let us challenge our brains by doing unfamiliar things like learning a new language or a musical instrument. Let us unplug ourselves from the wired world from time to time.”

“When we keep on shoving digital devices to our kids to keep them quiet and still, we are raising our kids to not have respect for us.”

“With the ease of posting on Facebook or online chatting, many teens give in to venting their anger thoughtlessly, without concern for the feelings of others.”

“If young children are left in the care of the TV or tablet, there is little time left to develop their physical, social and language skills through direct interaction with people.”

Catch Dr. Queena Lee-Chua at the DigiTech Visayas Conference on November 14-15, 2014 at the University of St. La Salle, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental.
