Some people think that mobile phones are harmful for children, while others disagree. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.

It is often argued by some that mobile phones are detrimental to children, while others think it is not.

This

essay will discuss both the arguments and

also

provide evidence that in some cases, smartphones help a lot and are more beneficial than its negatives. On the one hand, lack of physical activity and poor grades are the root causes of excessive usage of mobiles. To explain it briefly, these days, most of the children are preferred to play indoors and glued to

such

a device since they are addictive to

such

a gadget and, because of

this

reason they do not spend their leisure

time

by involving in outdoor activities and can be suffered from various hazardous diseases

such

as obesity.

Moreover

, it

also

affects their studies. To illustrate, the recent survey conducted by

time

proved that the children who spend their majority of

time

on social networking could not get desire scores in their academics.

On the other hand

, despite having the aforementioned disadvantageous, fortunately, mobile phones help in several ways. In case of emergency,

for example

, when parents are not available at home, a child can contact them to describe the situation of their grandparent's health.

Furthermore

, smartphones

also

have the feature to find out the geographical location, By using

such

characteristic, parents can exactly find the location of their children and contact them

time

to

time

, as security is essential in

such

conditions which are included in

this

device. In conclusion, after considered all, I believe that

although

mobile phones are harmful in some cases, it

also

provides security and in case of emergencies, it is a better facility which should be provided by parents to their children.

However

, excessive usage of

this

gadget is prohibited by parents so that a child can

also

take part in other activities too.
