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

It is true that the time

children

spend on

smartphones

has sharply increased in recent years. Some people harbour a belief that

this

phenomenon assists

children

to get accustomed to cutting-edge technology at an early age, while others hold a faith that it results in obsession. From my perspective, it might do harm to both the psychological and physical aspects of

children

.

Initially

, thanks to the blooming of a variety of state-of-the-art communication technologies, it’s achievable for

children

to receive a wide range of information only by scrolling the smartphone. Not only videos or clips are accessible but

also

miscellaneous news can be reached.

Moreover

, ingesting diverse information could enhance how

children

ponder. During the process of comprehending what they have been imparted from the information consumed, they will be enforced to deliberate more logically and comprehensively. Admittedly, the optic diseases might be induced by the blue light emitted. The proportion of

children

suffering from myopia even retinal detachment has significantly increased in the past ten years according to the official statistics conducted by the Union of the Optometrists in Taiwan.

Besides

the aforementioned,

children

normally lack the ability for differentiation.

As a result

,

children

might be influenced by misleading concepts. GTA, a well-known game launched on

smartphones

, contains exceedingly violent factors in it.

Children

might imitate the content subliminally and express violent orientation. To sum up, despite the fact there are some merits, the substantial drawbacks must not be ignored. Considering the deterioration of

children

’s duties, I tend to stand with spendings hours on

smartphones

as a harmful influence as well as suggesting

children

should be rigorously supervised while using

smartphones

.
