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

Smartphones

are part of modern life. Some

children

use

their time on

smartphones

and spend hours on them. In

this

essay,

i

Change the capitalization

I

show examples

will describe whether

this

is a positive or negative development. Nowadays, many parents give their

children

a phone for many reasons. The common reason is they want to know the locations of their

children

. Not just for security, but many benefits of phones make life easier for

children

. In the modern area, every activity uses a smartphone, even in school, pupils learn to search for information for their assignments.

However

, they

use

a smartphone for school stuff. The creativity of

children

can be built from the internet.

For example

, the students get a task from their teacher to make a short movie about how to save the forest, and the pupils will find the idea from the internet to make a movie. It is a good development because the

children

will be the future of a country's development and they should know about technology.

On the other hand

,

smartphones

have drawbacks. Some

children

do not

use

their phones wisely. They spend hours on the negative side. Lack of parental supervision leads

children

to download games and social media apps. A

game

becomes an addiction for some young. They spend all their time playing a particular

game

. For illustrate, the

game

teaches pupils how to kill and

use

violence, and they bring the behaviour to a school environment. In some cases happened, in Indonesia, a student hit his friend because a

game

inspired him. Another example because some social media do not have filters; the young can watch everything include sexuality content which is not appropriate for them. In my honest opinion, I agree that

smartphones

have benefits for our

children

, but we need strict supervision of them and to make some rules.

For instance

, how many hours they can

use

the phone and restrict their download settings. If

children

can

use

their phones wisely, they can get more positive impacts on their life.
