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

In

this

modern era, many people including

children

spend time with their

smartphones

. Some people argue that it is happening because

children

today need that technology to support their daily activities

such

as school or for entertainment. Others argue that

children

should not be provided with

smartphones

because it can give more negativity.

This

essay will discuss why

children

spend more time with

smartphones

rather than doing other activities, and

this

essay will discuss whether it is positive or negative for them.

First,

many young generations today tend to spend more duration with gadgets because it is something that they cannot avoid.

For example

, many schools present-day have been changing their way of delivering school materials to students from paper-based to online material. In

this

case,

children

do not have a choice to not use their gadgets to access the material provided by their teacher.

Furthermore

, parents cannot forbid their

children

because it can reduce their

children

’s performance at school. Another reason is the way youngsters spend their free time for entertain themselves has changed compared to the past. Today, most

children

tend to play online games rather than play outside because it will be easy for them to meet their relatives or even new friends via online games.

For example

, one famous game is a mobile legend where

children

can easy to play and get new friends randomly all around the world. In

this

case, by meeting strangers from foreign countries, they can easily improve their ability to speak using an international language

such

as English. In conclusion, I believe that spending a whole day on gadgets is something that they cannot avoid, especially in

this

era which is dominated by technology.

This

improvement can bring positive effects if

children

use that tools wisely. If some parents may be afraid that their

children

can access other content

that is

harmful to them easily, parents should have strict rules that apply to their

children

such

as controlling the schedule or even installing some applications that can connect to parents’

smartphones

.
