Are kids growing too fast due to technology?

In today's generation, kids now have access to the Internet with smartphones and tablets, you now see kids acting older than their age or gaining knowledge to things they shouldn't at that age, do you think technology is making them grow too fast or the pace is just right?

We actually cannot compare our own time then with that if the present generation. We did not have easy access to these technologies while growing up. I’m sure if we had them then we will also make use of them. So we can’t blame them if they grow fast, it’s the are they find themselves.

I think kids are definitely growing up faster because of technology. They see and hear things online that most of us didn’t even know existed at their age. It’s not always bad, they’re more aware, more confident, and learn quickly. But it also takes away some innocence. Childhood feels shorter now. Instead of climbing trees or playing outside, they’re scrolling and comparing themselves to people twice their age. I don’t blame the kids though, it’s the world they were born into. I just wish there was more balance between being tech smart and still enjoying being a kid.

I also think kids these days are faster than our generation because of the easy access to internet. Everything they are curious to know about, they can check themselves on the internet. I don't blame kids for it , it is because of the advanced technology. But as everything has pros and cons, use of internet is not always good for the kids.
