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?

It is apparent that a mobile phone has become an indispensable thing for youngsters.

As a result

, they spend a significant amount of time in their daily lives on their

smartphones

. From my point of view,

this

phenomenon has many negative effects. In the following paragraphs, the reasons to support my opinion will be outlined.

To begin

with, consider why so many

children

are addicted to

smartphones

. One of the major reasons is the variety of entertainment options available on a smartphone

such

as games, videos, and social media. They have the ability to persuade the younger generation to get addicted. Another reason is that parents in the modern world are quite busy with their duties, so they do not have time enough to take care of their

children

.

Moreover

, some parents do not have the knowledge and realize the harmful of using mobile. As for the reasons for

this

case, I personally think that it brings many drawbacks to

children

.

Firstly

, if

children

spent hours on their mobile over the limit for a long time, they may have many health problems

such

as not enough sleep, eyes problem, and slow development.

Furthermore

, using

smartphones

over the limit can cause

children

attention deficit and short memory

as a result

badly academic learning. Apart from that,

children

also

have fewer relationships with others in the real world. To sum up, many entertainments of

smartphones

and lacking parental care are the reason for

this

phenomenon it can bring many negative effects on

children

like health problems, study problems, and relationships.
