Some children spend hours everyday on their smartphones. Why is this case? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

At the

time

advanced technology is available at a lower cost and

smartphones

are in everybody’s hands, a limitation of screen

time

is not considered ,especially for

children

. From my perspective, there may be certain facts appealing for

children

to use and

this

trend will contribute to unfavourable repercussions.

First

, lots of

internet

features persuade young people to not stay away from their phones. On the

internet

, not solely academic education talks but

also

entertaining ones can be easily browsed for various purposes, resulting in being online for more than three hours.

For instance

, countless numbers of free movies, TV programs or series with multiple languages can be watched on

smartphones

by just having access to the

internet

which lasts for more than an hour even for one episode.

Moreover

, the growing popularity of online games or offline ones among youngsters plays the main cause of to use of

smartphones

every day. Because it is addictive and takes an hour to finish a match, perhaps

children

are spending all of their free

time

playing games on

smartphones

.

Second

,

this

kind of habit of spending most of the

time

on

smartphones

would bring a negative impact on social relationships for

children

. At a young age, it would be pivotal for younger ones to stay in groups to develop life skills

such

as communication and team-working as a means of building a foundation for adult life. If a child lives in a virtual world by using a smartphone all the

time

, he or she will likely suffer detachment from a social group and will not get any assistance which can cause him to be alone and unable to build a network.

Besides

,

this

habit would

also

devastate health in the long run. Using

smartphones

can have a sedentary lifestyle and can not spare a single

time

to walk, let alone do exercise or take part in mild sports events. To conclude, mobile games and some

internet

features lead to

children

having the highest consumption of

time

on

smartphones

and it causes them to lack social skills with a bad impact on health.
