vast majority of

children

spend hours per day surfing the internet and playing video games on their

smartphones

. People have different views about the future impact of the younger generation’s future development.

While

there are some benefits, I believe that it may be warming. On the one hand, the biggest cause of

this

problem is parents’ improper behaviours which impact their

children

significantly. Because adults should spend lots of time on technology devices for connecting with colleagues and friends or for other occupational purposes,

children

might copy their parents’ actions.

Also

, if parents didn’t spend enough time taking their boys and girls, they might turn their attention from their family to the

. Adults should beware of their own behaviour and set a good example for younger.

On the other hand

, the younger generation overusing

smartphones

might lead to several consequences,

such

as losing contact with people in reality, failing to keep up with schoolwork, and harming their eyes’ health.

Moreover

, they might meet bad guys on the internet or be involved in insecurity.

However

,

smartphones

are good tools for learning for sure, we can look up dictionaries on

smartphones

to check up new vocabulary and absorb knowledge by watching tutorials on Youtube. But most of the

children

are too young to distinguish right from wrong, all we have to do is to teach the younger generation to use their

smartphones

properly and restrict their leisure time on

smartphones

.

Overall

, the trend of overusing

smartphones

was caused by adults’ improper behaviours.

Although

it is a negative development, we could still make

this

future comparatively bright by teaching

children

to make good use of their

smartphones
