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?

It is often said that youngsters spend a lot of

time

on mobile phones on a daily basis.

This

essay will look at the primary causes of it and I believe

this

technological development does more harm than good. The first reason why offspring tend to make cell phones their priority is the lack of parental supervision.

For example

, office workers in Vietnam are reported to work approximately 10 hours a day including weekends. With that being said,

time

to control their

children

is somehow excluded from their schedules and the only way to entertain them is to allow them to use smartphones. Another reason that should be mentioned is the shortage of playgrounds for

children

. Take Ha Noi as an example, large areas of public parks are being cleared to make way for skyscrapers. For that reason, minors have to use products like iPhones to prevent boredom.

In addition

, I believe that using handsets has some adverse effects.

Firstly

, it will result in health deterioration for every child. It can be explained by the fact that staring at smartphones for a long

time

leads to eye diseases

such

as myopia or far-sightedness as these gadgets emit blue light containing colour spectrum.

Secondly

,

children

are more likely to communicate poorly. If they spend too much

time

playing with phones, they will have a tendency to lock themselves in their rooms to interact with virtual characters, causing them to believe that human interaction is not essential. In conclusion, deficiency in parental control is the main culprit of the excessive use of smartphones by

children

, followed by negative impacts on minors’ well-being and poor communication skill.
