The Influence of Character Development in the Era Digital for Students

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find out how the character of students develops in the digital era and the influence of positive and negative digital-based impacts. This technological era makes children appear very passive and rarely socialize in the family or even society. Most children today are more focused on paying attention to the screen in front of their eyes than playing with their peers, and it is even rare to see children playing traditional games. In fact, this traditional game can be used as a habit to build a sense of brotherhood with peers and become more familiar and generate creative ideas using traditional games. From this incident, children will lose valuable time when playing with family, studying, developing talents or playing with friends because their focus has been taken over by cellphone screens or existing technology. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method with a library study approach through literature in the form of journals and Scientific article as the main object.The results of this research are that most children today are more focused on paying attention to the screen in front of their eyes than playing with their peers, and it is even rare to see children playing traditional games. In fact, this traditional game can be used as a habit to build a sense of brotherhood with peers and become more familiar and generate creative ideas using traditional games.
