Language development plays a pivotal role in a child's cognitive and overall growth, progressing through identifiable stages that ultimately lead to adult communication. It serves as a significant indicator of a child's intellectual and overall development. This study aims to explore the impact of daily technology use on children's language development. A quantitative retrospective approach was adopted, utilizing data from children aged 18 months to 5 years. The study analyzed the relationship between technology use and language development delays, focusing on both phonological and general language delays. The findings indicate a modest association between using technology for over two hours daily and language development delays in children. Specifically, the study concludes that constant use of technology for more than two hours a day by children aged 18 months to 5 years has a negative influence on their development, including language delays. In conclusion, these results highlight the importance of monitoring and regulating children's technology use to promote healthy language development and communication skills in early childhood.
