Technology and digitalization has brought massive changes in our lifestyles. People can contact, socialize and make friends all over the world, from Dallas to New York to Manchester to Tokyo to Singapore to anywhere in the world. With IoT, the household tasks have been reduced to a voice command. And, security systems are controlled through fingertips.  With this huge technological transformation, it should come in no wonder why our kids have grown so digital. 

Kids are amazing nowadays. They might be interesting earlier, too, but the way they adapt to technology is impressive. I left in awe when my 5-year-old cousin taught me to play a quite complex game on his tablet. In this age, children are not only skilled in using technology, but they think digitally.

<h2>Kids are Digital Native:</h2>

When digital technology has been a game-changer for quite several years, it is transforming youngsters and kids significantly. This digitalization helps them learn and grow to their utmost potential. Since children are more adaptive and creative, they embrace technology more than adults. Being an adult, we need time to think, accept and respond to the change. Whereas, children get directly introduced to the technology and accept them as a part of their environment. 

Today, kids are more independent in the digital age. They can connect with friends and make decisions on their own. Decision-making skills of children are prominently improving within a digital age; several mobile apps and games help strengthen their decision-making skills. Children have access to education and learnable with the digital equipment around them. Digitalization has empowered children to move safely and connect with their families.  Increased digitalization has made our children smarter, sharper, and learned more than ever. Hence, no wonder, children adapt digitalization more than adults. 

<H2>Children learn faster:</H2>

Children can perform digital activities that can be surprising for some of us who are not much interested in technology and innovations. We can say that it happens because children are digital natives and a majority of children easily and quickly learn basic operational skills (Young Children (0-8) and Digital Technology). Some of them are proficient at online competencies like google search for information and using WhatsApp, especially if a close family member is distant. Moreover, they can install and use a diverse range of mobile apps. If they are better at reading and comprehension, they seem to be even more digital, since this helps them in recognition of text, images, and logos. Some children also show amazingly exciting abilities in understanding non-native languages as in games instructions and entertainment videos. Whereas, some children use digital technologies not only as passive consumers but also in a creative way.

<H2>Kids are becoming more creative:</H2>

Kids are collaborative, creative and fearless. They can “do” things. They are not afraid of losing and failing. This is why we see that in the near future, these little digital kids will be making their own toys instead of getting them from a local toy store. This surely is nor an exaggeration neither a sci-fi movie craze. Children are practically capable of creating and forming toys using a 3-D printer. They can use the raw material to make something from scratch. Also, the availability of digitals equipment has empowered their learning. Thus they are more creative and independent in doing multiple creative and complex activities.
 
<h2>Increased Possibilities, Endless Options:</h2>

With more digital transformation, we believe digitalization not only adds to the children's screen time but helps them do physical activities in amalgamation with that. In the future, kids might be able to put one of their toys in front of their tablet and smartphone and know the name of the material the toy makeup. They might be able to nurture their connection with nature. 

Improved transformation and digital evolution has developed children more digital than many professionals and CMOS. With such greater than ever and improved possibilities within the kids’ reach, they seem to better engaged and learn.
