Smartphones have become our partners in daily life, and we carry them everywhere we go. When going to the office, we keep them in our pockets, and after arriving, we open them to contact our loved ones. On the way home, we may use our phones to listen to music or read e-books, and before going to sleep, we often check them one last time even when there are no notifications. Because of this habit, many people have become dependent on smartphones. This raises an important question about the newest generation, known as Generation Alpha or often nicknamed the "iPad Kids." This essay will discuss my experiences with social media and children in kindergarten and elementary school, including the positive and negative effects of smartphones and what the older generation can do to guide them.
