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 undeniable fact that mobile devices have now become a prominent part of our lives.

Due to

this

,the children invest hours playing on their smartphones.

This

essay will not only shed some light on the causes but

also

will depict the negative impact it has. First and foremost,

This

obsession develops from being encouraged to use

such

devices for a longer period by parents

initially

and

instead

not being taught to follow a balanced schedule to play and learn

accordingly

.

For instance

,

this

is the era where both the parents are working professionals and they burn the midnight oil to earn a living,

due to

which they leave them with

such

gadgets to spend time.

Moreover

, the child inspires by the elders only.

For Example

, Adam miller my neighbour has an 8 years small sister who is left with him to be taken care of when the parents are at work. He is always on Instagram and scrolling through the feeds

due to

which his sister

also

got encouraged him to play with smart devices for hours. Apart from that, it comes with few pros but many cons which result in very fatal sometimes. These blue screens damage the vision in the retina . It

also

makes them vulnerable to headaches and addictions to some fatal games. For evidence, it was published in an article by Ahmedabad Mirror that a 10-year-old kid committed suicide after being a victim of the blue whale game in which the killer lures children for candy rewards and

then

commands them to jump off the balcony.

To conclude

, I believe though there are boons of development but so does the bane, and proper guidance

along with

monitoring is required on how the kid is utilising the time on screens and where in order to curb

this

issue.
