In modern times and a fast-changing world, it is common in many countries for children to have mobile
phones
.
Although
 some schools and universities are in favour, others seem to restrict their
use
. In my opinion,
that is
 a positive impact not only academically, but
also
 physically and socially too. Restricting phone
use
 in the classroom itself can improve learning. Without these devices,
students
 and teachers will have far fewer distractions and can pay more attention to the curriculum. When
students
 have their
phones
 they tend to easily lose focus with the irresistible urge to be online and constantly checking for texts or social media updates.
For example

 in many areas and will develop them for future challenges.
