Using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library, research at least one peer-reviewed article that describes the way(s) in which technology has either positively or negatively influenced physical, cognitive, or psychosocial development in childhood or adolescence (e.g., the effects of media violence on aggression or educational products on learning). In your discussion:

• Describe factors that may mediate the effect(s) of technology in your selected stage (e.g., education, gender, socioeconomic status, culture, or family and parenting).
• Evaluate the unique scholarly perspectives found in your research and interpret the implications of technology on human development.
• Support your perspective(s) with references from the required or peer-reviewed resources, making sure to properly cite each source.
• Additionally, conclude by considering relevant ethical concerns (perhaps regarding policy decisions).

Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues' posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion.

• Do you agree or disagree with your colleagues' conclusion(s) regarding the positive or negative effect(s) of technology within their chosen developmental periods?
• Whether you agree with your colleagues' conclusion(s), describe how one of their stated advantages may actually be a disadvantage in the chosen developmental periods or vice versa.
• Speculate regarding relative advantages and disadvantages in another developmental period (e.g., infancy or adulthood). Suggest mediating factors for the influence(s) of technology that might have been overlooked by your colleague.
