The phenomenon of

children

using smartphones all day has been growing up.

This

case becomes common and I consider

this

a positive development. One reason is during the COVID-19 pandemic when lockdowns were implemented in many regions of the world.

Therefore

, students do not participate in outdoor

activities

and technology makes it easier for their

activities

such

as playing games or studying. And they can save money on travel and online

activities

are always available.

However

, the benefits of technology make them get into the habit of using their

phone

every day. I consider

this

trend a negative for a number of reasons. The

first

reason for my belief is using the

phone

all day with regard to diseases

such

as being overweight. When using the

phone

full time, we focus on the

phone

because the games and work are on the

phone

.

This

makes them likely to go out to take part in the activity outdoors. Nutritionists of ABS University Vietnam did some research about the number of

children

overweight.

As a result

, 50% of

children

are overweight due to inactivity because of spending time on phones.

Secondly

, after a long time using the

phone

, the skills

such

as time-management, basic

skill

Fix the agreement mistake

skills

show examples

, and problem-solving may be limited.

This

creates disadvantages when in a real environment.

For example

, according to a recent survey conducted by the National University of Vietnam, 65% of

children

have difficulty

in

Change preposition

show examples

communicating with others. In conclusion, there are various negative consequences of using phones in

children

and appropriate steps need to be taken to tackle these problems by letting

children

participate in more outdoor

activities

.
