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?

With the development of technology, there are various electronic devices,
such
 as
phones
, computers, and tablets, being invented and used
everyday

.
Although
 modern technology makes our lives easier,
people
 are concerned about
children
 using
smartphones
 excessively. Some
children
 are addicted to mobile
phones
 because these devices are portable and able to display interesting and dynamic content.
While
 books can show knowledge and bring fun, it is much easier to carry a phone than a book.
Children
 can search for and get a huge amount of attractive content within seconds by using
smartphones
. Things displayed on the screens of telephones are basically websites and applications, which means these can change instantly as users request.
Additionally
,
children
 lack self-control compared with adults. Adults have much more life experience and responsibilities, so they will regulate themself and choose not to play with their
phones
 as much as they want.
On the contrary
,
children
 don't know too much about the importance of other things,
such
 as study and social activities, so even some simple but pretty images on
smartphones
 can attract
children
 for a long time. In my opinion, it will bring negative impacts
to

children
 who use their
phones
 too much. The first issue is that these
children
 will have bad relationships with their parents and classmates. When they play with mobiles, they will usually not interact with other
people
. These
children
also
 hate other
people
 to disrupt them when playing video games on mobiles. Eventually,
children
 addicted to mobiles will not be willing to talk with
people
.
Moreover
, the overuse of
smartphones
 by
children
 can
also
 make
children
 hate studying.
Smartphones
 can provide funny stuff, but concepts in textbooks are usually hard or even boring.
Children
 don't have a good understanding of disciplines, so they don't know the importance of studying. These will stop them from being successful in the future. In conclusion, some
children
 love using
phones
 too much, since there is a huge amount of fun and playful content on mobile
phones
.
However
, if
children
 use
phones
 without any restriction, their studies and interpersonal relationship can be seriously hurt.
