Marshall McLuhan (1964) said, "Any technology gradually creates a totally new human environment." (McLuhan, 2019) This is affirmed by the changes we are experiencing today, which have occurred and continue to occur in the details of our lives. Rapidly evolving technology has transformed the specifics of the environment in which we live, as well as our responses to the natural stimuli that surround us. As a result of this technology, a virtual space has emerged parallel to our physical reality. It utilizes a variety of notifications, emanating from mobile Communication devices of various kinds, Children, being the first generation growing up within this emerging environment, are among the groups exposed to these notifications. These auditory, sensory, and visual notifications have an impact on various cognitive functions of the child, especially during the stage of completing mental and perceptual development between the ages of 3 to 5 years. In this stage, the child strives to learn and acquire a range of skills that influence their human capacities (including cognitive, sensory, and social abilities). This paper aims to shed light on a set of indicators through which these impacts can be monitored, along with the resulting consequences, while also Suggesting ways to overcome them.
