The dangers and complexities of the modern world have made the mobile phone an absolute necessity for children. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the dangerous and complex world of today, the

use

of mobile devices is of utmost importance to young ones. I strongly agree with

this

statement as the need for

phones

in the lives of kids cannot be overemphasized.

To begin

, as the world has gone digital, a lot of

school

activities are done with and on computers and

as a result

, children need mobile

phones

for educational purposes.

School

activities like researching, lectures and submission of assignments that were previously done manually are now done online

therefore

the

use

of

phones

helps them partake in

this

.

For instance

, a child with a communicable disease like chicken pox who couldn’t make it to

school

can still join his peers and receive lectures by attending online and

this

can only be possible with the

use

of

phones

.

In addition

, mobile

phones

help with children’s security as parents have found ways to track their kids' whereabouts via the

use

of certain security apps installed on these mobile devices. These apps when used signal the parents or the law authorities of any impending harm to the child using it.

For example

, when in the midst of any suspiciously looking persons, these children could

use

the app which would draw the attention of the police to their location, saving them from these people. In conclusion, I agree the

use

of a mobile phone by children is very helpful as they

use

it for

school

work and as a form of security.
