Hello, I'm Rafael Alvarez and I have decided to make my intervention on the Internet's
influence on children. Technology has changed our personalities in some way or another,
and newborns are no exception. From the second children are born, what they remember and do
from their first couple years develops into their brain and giving them access to the
internet at such an early age is not good for their brain development. As someone who grew
up not ever really going out unless I had to and only every focusing what was on Youtube
from my entire childhood, I gotta say it wasn't really helping me in the long run. I didn't
understand how to talk to people normally or even think I was acting odd around people
growing up, being very oblivious because I hadn't really ever thought about it. I grew up
being very loud and yelling whenever I didn't get time to use the internet, that then went
to me doing the same thing whenever I was having trouble in school. All I ever had on my
mind was when's the next time I am gonna be able to scroll through Youtube again for I
would say about 10 years I say until early high school. During high school, I had found out
that not everyone really liked my odd behavior, something that I realize now that people
also probably didn't like during middle school except I was too oblivious to realize. Then
for the rest of my time I had decided to stay quite and never act like how I did previous
to high school, a complete personality shift just because I didn't know how to handle it and
all I could think of was acting edgy will have people tolerate me more probably. I had made
this artwork as a representation of how the internet can affect children if left
unsupervised to it for years, becoming obsessed with it and making their whole identity
around it.
