Many children in Britain have lost touch with almost any environment and are not able to identify plants or usual animals, is shown in a publication appeared in BBC Wildlife Magazine and quoted by The Independent.
Approximately half of the 700 children aged between 9 and 11 years were surveyed in the state to recognize the spider, oak, the titmouse and Campanula, while only 62 percent knew the name to the turtle.

What we want if not yet born but already in the room have a computer? I'm not against progress but I think children should develop not only in one domein , as usual is IT ... They know everything about the internet, but almost nothing about the rest ... I think it's the parents fault. First of all, they must educate their children,to show that there are other interesting things than the internet.

Is very sad that our children are not interested in nature, in personal communication. But we parents have allowed them to get where they are .... We wanted they to have everything, to be in line with the latest technology news. And here is what we received

I do not think in this survey. Sounds like something unreal. These children will suffer in the future of communication, they will become virtual people in real world. Dear parents do not allow technology to steal children, because first of all you get hurt and your children.

Technology, progress is good,it makes our life easier, more interesting in some ways! But if we disagree with something we can protest. But I have not heard any parent to protest. Their likely to agreed, the child sit quietly on his computer, not do noise, should not be protected like when is outside, and so on ...We came here because of their parents. Only they are guilty of education of their children. They prefer to give more time for working than walks with children. Here are the results.

yes it is happening. because the technology is increasing day by day so all humans are connecting to science to leave the nature.

very soon. They already tend to self affirmation small, for decision, choice, and begin to claim their rights of children.

I understand from reading is about tests done in Britain. So not all have lost touch with nature, is not a world
affirmation..

[hellodear]

I think child won't lose touch with nature if theparents won't lose real touch with it. The parent's example is the best for there descendants..

Parents usually want their children to have everything and not lacks them of computer and Internet . And adults are suffering from this disease! Parents are also in impasse and do not know what to do, how to get them out of the virtual world!
