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 true to say that larger numbers of children are spending considerable hours on their smartphones compared to the past .

This

could have various reasons but one major fact is the transformation of the latest technologies.

Although

a smartphone brings many benefits for children , it has some drawbacks as well.

However

, in my humble opinion,

this

could bring both positive and negative development for our newer generations. On the one hand , it cannot be deniable that using a smartphone can open a new learning environment for offspring.

For example

, during the COVID-19 period , most of them can continue their education through their touch screen devices and social media applications.

Moreover

, parents

also

not require to worry about their heir's educational progress because they can track it easily at home .

As a result

, they do not need to spend a considerable amount of money on their heir's education.

On the other hand

, experiencing a significant amount of time on mobile devices could lead to some physical and mental problems for youngsters.

For instance

, we could find multiple contents that are not relevant for a child , and these can impact a child's mindset .

In addition

, if youngsters enjoy their screens rather than doing physical activities , their bodies may become weaker and less strong.

Consequently

,

this

can become serious heart disease and obesity. To conclude, a smartphone has several advantages , it

also

has dark sides for children. In my opinion , we should apply some regulations to control the usage of smartphones by our new generations.

Otherwise

, we could definitely occur the above problems as I mentioned earlier.
