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

A number of young juveniles tend to use their smartphones for long hours per day. In my opinion,

this

is due to the inadequacy of opportunity to play and roam outside of their own confined residents and the uprising concerns about their physical safety.

Additionally

, I would like to argue that

such

a lifestyle may have lifelong chronic adverse consequences in the future.

This

essay contains arguments championing

such

opinions.

First

of all, with the current growing population in the major cities and urban areas, the availability of free spaces,

for example

, parks and playgrounds, for residents to relax are dwindling gradually.

Consequently

, most of the children in these regions do not have the places essential for social gatherings and physical sports,

hence

confining themselves to gadgets consisting of various features

such

as social sites to create and maintain friends, online games for entertainment and so on. In the meantime, road safety and social security in modern cities are not sufficiently convincing currently.

As a result

, parents show high reluctance to allow the

next

generations to roam outside in the streets. With regard to the causes, using smartphones may come out as a silent killer in the near future.

Although

it won’t just “kill” people as the poison does, rather it will bring complicated issues related to health and psychology that can be detrimental.

For instance

, staring at the bright LED screen of phones continuously can damage eyesight slowly and gradually;

besides

, other mental difficulties

such

as depression and frustration can

also

arise. Studies showed that two-thirds of total suicides by teenagers in South Asian countries have connections to depression induced by addictions to social media. In conclusion, the arguments aforementioned give proper reasoning and framework to support my stance on the negativity of overusing smartphones.
