1.3.5 Temporality Factor: Nowadays








1.4 Justification
The uses and abuses ofsocial network and technological gadgets in students of UEPRIM. The research paper was born with the idea of calculating and demonstrating to our society how many students make use of smartphones, and how they can lose time using them.
It also intends to provide accurate data in order for us, to study and draw conclusions in an efficient way and contribute information for future research about thetopic exposed by us.
It is very important to be informed about this topic because we can keep a record of how every year, abuses of technology and social network increase among students of UEPRIM. With the collected information we can apply it to our daily lives in order to take advantage of it. Technological gadgets can also be used for educational purposes which could be applied in the UnidadEducativa Principito & Marcel Laniado de Wind. Starting high school and later be applied to the rest of the school including the lower grades like primary school and kindergarten.
It should be pointed out that not all technologies are for all ages. The kindergarten kids would not be able to use the same technology as senior students. A research to determine what technology is appropriate for eachage is going to be necessary and helpful to the school and the authorities. The lycée should consider that if they apply technological gadgets and internet they would have thousands and thousands of pages of information to choose from. The information students are going to have would depends on the administration too. As everybody knows, the companies that supply internet have politics ofparental control which means that they control what pages or websites students would visit in order to make them focused on info that they really need and use. Teachers should plan their contents with the support of technology in each school year
