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

It is undeniable that

children

spend hours on their smartphones

instead

of playing with other

children

or doing homework.

This

essay will discuss the reason for spending too much time on smartphones and I believe that there are more negative developments than positive trends.

To begin

with, electronic devices are becoming cheaper and more convenient for

children

to communicate with their parents when they are outside.

In other words

, all parents are affordable to buy a smartphone for their offspring as it is affordable prices, even some

children

might have two

phones

.

In addition

, all attractive applications

such

as

games

or YouTube persuaded

children

to spend a lot of time using

phones

and even they might not notice how they waste their time for the whole day.

For example

,

children

spend the whole weekend playing

games

or watching YouTube videos without doing their daily routines.

However

,

children

can learn some skills using mobile

phones

like learning languages or other things that they want to learn.

Although

there are merits in using hand pone if

children

can use them effectively for their education, there are negative developments as most youths used their

phones

in order to play video

games

or use social media.

For instance

, youngsters are addicted to playing

games

and they are unable to concentrate on their studies as they want to become gamers or heroes in their

games

. To sum up,in spite of the fact that

children

are using smartphones as it makes them convenient communicate in their daily routines and supports their studies if they can use them in the correct way, there are more negative developments because of addicting

games

and spending hours on

phones

without emphasising important things for their life. Given these situations , it is a negative improvement for

children

.
