It would be an understatement to say that today’s kids gravitate towards gadgets and gizmos with
the kind of enthusiasm the older generation reserved for Beyblade tops and Pokémon trading cards.

The 21st century has ushered in a variety of technological marvels that have simplified life for us,
but one of the quadrants where it has backfired is the impact on children. Gone are the days where
they rushed back home from school, changed into play clothes in record time, and ran back out to
join their friends for an evening of cycling or hopscotch before settling down to study.

The Gen Z kids are glued to their TVs, computers and smartphones, and this has led to an alarmingly
sedentary lifestyle. The multipurpose function of these devices enables them to be used for watching
informative videos, reading up on general knowledge and being more socially and intellectually aware
of the world outside. However, the manner in which children use gadgets is more bane than boon.

They squander a criminally large portion of each day surfing gaming websites, listening to loud
music and coming into contact with content that isn’t always age-appropriate. There is a laundry list
of ways in which their health takes a toll too:
music and coming into contact with content that isn’t always age-appropriate. There is a laundry list
of ways in which their health takes a toll too:
- Vision impairment
Spending hours staring at a bright screen exposes kids to monitor glare.
Their eyesight weakens and it is no longer a rarity to see six and seven year olds
wearing thick glasses or squinting at objects.

- Hearing impairment
Since most kids have their headphones on—especially while they’re playing online games
or watching videos—they overwork their poor ears. Listening to a high level of noise
uninterrupted can lead to ear aches and even partial deafness.

- Bad posture
Being hunched over a laptop for hours, results in slouching and an inability to sit or walk
with an upright spine. Many kids even opt to lie down while using their phones or tablets,
hardly engaging their back muscles.

- Lethargy
All this lack of movement makes them sluggish. They refuse to participate in any activity
that requires physical exertion and during games periods in school, end up get fatigued quickly.

- Dwindling attention span
The human attention span has greatly decreased after the foray of technology into our daily
routines—this is all the more true for children. They are restless, distracted and slow to respond.

- Toll on academics
As a result, they’re not able to give undivided focus to schoolwork and often end up
forgetting to study for tests or complete assignments. Even when they do, they rush the
job in order to return to their gadgets as quickly as possible.

- Antisocial behaviour
Communication has become confined to social media platforms and text messaging services.
Today’s children have only minimal experience in real life human interaction and this makes
them awkward, nervous and out of place among peers.

- Lack of sleep
Normal sleep schedules are disturbed by the lure of gadgets. Children stay up late playing
online, and go to sleep at odd hours. This makes them listless and sleepy during school hours
and unresponsive to learning.

- Bad moods
Due to these physical impacts, the mood of children is affected as well. They become irritable,
moody and short tempered. They particularly lash out quickly if these gadgets are taken away
from them.

- Effect on psyche
Multiple studies have proved the connection between children’s behavioural patterns and the
content they’re exposed to. Playing violent games and listening to songs littered with profanity
unleashes their violent and rude sides as well.

However, in spite of these dangers, we’re part of an era where the internet and its benefits are
necessary for day-to-day activities. Even schools have begun posting homework questions and
learning modules online— it would be impossible to do away with technology. Therefore, it’s
important to cut down on its usage by getting kids to take part in the games and activities of our
youth that kept our bodies and minds in good health.

Simultaneously, options like Burma Bridge, Tyre Crawling and Trampoline help access that
much-needed alone time that today’s children lack. Contests like Obstacle Crossing and Net Crawling
help cultivate an early sense of sportsmanship and healthy competition.

Another point of uniqueness is that Monkey Monkey is located in ECR near the sea, and offers the
chance to sit and absorb the grandeur of nature, unruffled by the hustle and bustle of city life.
Camping packages can be booked for this purpose. The children are not allowed to bring any other
form of technology to the camp. Calls to parents or guardians can be made using the staff’s mobile
phones. This helps wean off their dependence on gadgets for recreation.

The kids also get used to the discipline of waking up early, getting breakfast at the dining hall and
going to sleep on time. While the staff will be monitoring their behaviour, the children are generally
given the opportunity to be independent, empowered and responsible. As our name suggests,
we offer not only spirited games but also the novel chance to enjoy solitude.
