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?

In recent decades with the high development of technology and science, people tend to equip more useful and intelligent

devices

to serve their lives. Among these, smartphones are the greatest and the most popular device

that is

used most frequently and consume their users more time, especially

children

. There are many reasons leading to

this

phenomenon and I personally believe

this

trend is disadvantageous. In terms of reasons why using smartphones accounts for a great amount of teenagers' time.

First

and foremost,

this

smart device helps them unwind after stressful hours at school. The fact is that the vast majority of games are installed on phones free of charge that they can play online with their friends.

Also

, loads of music apps are available so they can listen to a lot of their favourite songs when they are stressed or tired.

Secondly

, pupils can use some learning programs to exchange their knowledge with their classmates and teachers.

Last

but not least, most parents these days are busy making a living so they allow their

children

to use smartphones so as to not bother them while they’re working. Intellectual phones

also

have massive disadvantages for

children

when they misuse these tools. On top of that, they seem addicted to their clever

devices

. They tend to spend their spare time passively

instead

of using them for helpful work

such

as playing sports or taking a rest.

Besides

that, babies under six using these

devices

are highly likely to suffer some physical and mental disorders or diseases.

Furthermore

, those who spend much on their phones tend not to have good relationships with their parents and friends. In short, the modern trend is that

children

have more opportunities to expose to and use these

devices

more frequently due to many subjective and objective reasons.

Although

it might negatively affect

children

’s development, utilizing these tools wisely does help them a lot in their study and relaxation.
