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

Recently, the usage of smartphones by

children

has been the subject of debate in society. There are several reasons for

this

phenomenon. I profoundly believe that the drawbacks of it far outweigh its benefits.

Firstly

, in

this

cutting-edge world ,parents do not have enough time to play with their

children

. They have to work a lot to supply the family's needs so to control their

children

the best way is the easiest one

that is

phones,

secondly

, it is crystal clear that there are numerous applications and games that draw

children

's attention. There are included colourful items that are attractive for

children

,

although

they are designed without any purpose.

By contrast

, I firmly believe that

children

should spend most of their time with others of the same age. Playing can improve their thinking ways and not only boost their intellectual skills, but

also

they are physically ready for competition. They have to grow up slowly and experience real experiences ,not virtual ones. According to my own experience, my nephew even does not have any friends in his apartment to play ordinary physical games. We have to raise social awareness about

this

issue by asking parents to take educational responsibility for their

children

. To conclude,

although

it is less likely to stop the widespread use of phones by

children

, we have to consider that

this

way of using modern technology can ruin the

next

generation's culture.
