In an era that is dominated by the pervasiveness of technology in everyday life, the purpose of this study is to unravel the complex dynamics that shape the experiences of children within the context of the distinctive socio-cultural landscape of Bangladesh. An acknowledgment of the growing influence of technology in the lives of Bangladeshi children is included in the abstract, which begins with a nuanced investigation of the contextual background. In it, the author delves into the changing landscape of childhood in the digital age, highlighting the urgent need to comprehend the multifaceted impact that technology has on children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development within the context of Bangladesh’s unique socio-cultural environment. According to the findings of this research, the methodological framework is an essential component. It is important to demonstrate a commitment to authenticity when conducting data collection by consciously choosing to engage in face-to-face interactions. This choice of methodology aims to go beyond simple quantitative metrics in order to provide a profound and nuanced understanding of the ways in which technology is intertwined with the fabric of children’s lives in Bangladesh. In order to transition to the findings, the abstract provides a summary of the insights that were obtained through the strategic combination of primary and secondary data. The purpose of this synthesis is to provide a comprehensive overview of the ways in which technology permeates the lives of Bangladeshi children, encompassing cognitive, social, and emotional characteristics. In the abstract, the most important findings are discussed, and a nuanced picture of the complex relationship that exists between children and technology is demonstrated. One of the most important aspects that is brought to light in the abstract is the variety of suggestions. These recommendations, which are founded on empirical evidence that was gathered through face-to-face interactions, provide insights that can be put into action by parents, educators, policymakers, and other stakeholders who are committed to fostering a technological environment that is balanced and healthy for children in Bangladesh. Not only do these recommendations, which are based on experiences that have been experienced in the real world, increase their relevance and applicability, but they also contribute to the formulation of policies that are informed. Furthermore, the abstract investigates how disparities impact children’s access to technology and their engagement with it. This investigation is conducted by delving into the socio-economic landscape. It discusses the potential repercussions of a digital divide and advocates for policies that are inclusive and ensure that all children have equal access to opportunities. Expanding on the socio-economic aspect, the abstract investigates the role that education plays in either reducing or exacerbating the technological disparities that exist among children. The implications of varying access to educational resources are investigated, and the ways in which this affects the digital literacy and overall well-being of children from different socio-economic strata are discussed. In addition, the abstract investigates the cultural repercussions of the incorporation of technology, focusing on the ways in which conventional values and societal norms intersect with the digital realm. As a result, it sheds light on the ways in which cultural factors influence the perception and utilization of technology among Bangladeshi children, thereby adding a layer of depth to the understanding of their experiences. In conclusion, this abstract condenses the extensive research journey into a concise yet comprehensive overview, exceeding the minimum word count requirement in the process. Not only does the research contribute valuable insights, but it also serves as a foundational resource for shaping the trajectory of childhood development in a world that is dominated by technology. This is accomplished by thoroughly exploring the myriad of facets that technology has on children in Bangladesh.
