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? Give your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Nowadays,
children
enjoy taking a few hours on their smartphones
not only to play games but also
to do other activities. This
probably happens because few reasons such
as easy accessibility and some parents not really restricting them from using smartphones
. However
, I think this
can lead to more negative development instead
of positive since children
can access inappropriate content
and it can diminish their interest in other playing methods.
To begin
with, children
are still vague in choosing what content
suits them despite some content
being created for children
. In addition
, they tend to choose the type of activities that make them happy without considering the negative sides. If they watch or play some games without their parents' control, it can lead to brain damage and affect their behaviour. For instance
, in children
who lost their parent's attention and get stuck with porn movies even in cartoon illustrations, research has shown that their part of the brain which is the pre-frontal cortex might disrupt. As a result
, those threats could affect the related brain function if parents do not control their children
's activity.
On the other hand
, children
who are addicted to a cell phone with an internet connection might find that this
thing is more fun for them instead
of playing outside with their friends. For example
, we can see that in the present, children
often hold their smartphones
longer than in the previous era. They tend to spend their leisure time playing with their phone instead
of going outside and seeking another activity. Hence
, many traditional child entertainments had gone and not being an option because it was not attractive anymore.
To conclude, it is obvious that spending many times on smartphones
is a bit negative development for children
because it can lead to unsuitable content
and children
might lose interest to grab better entertainment.Submitted by maryzashabira on
