In some cases, parents permit their children to play on gadgets such as laptops or smartphones, because they believe that they play a vital role in developing their technological abilities. On the contrary, others strictly restrict their kids from utilizing them in any given context. Whilst giving young kids exposure to technology can help equip them with skills that can become handy in the future, I strongly believe that the mental issues and impacts on the social life of children, that derive from using them, are both very detrimental consequences that justify such restrictions.
