In the era of technological development,
smartphones
are becoming more and more popular so that every single person can easily own at least one.
This
popularity,
on the other hand
, confronts an argument among
parents
and educational experts that youngsters are using
smartphones
for
hours
a day. In my perspective, the most common reason is that
parents
always work in a hectic schedule, so they don’t really have time to control the time of
children
’s phone
use
. In
this
essay, I will
also
discuss in more detail the deleterious impacts of using
phones
for many long
hours
.
Firstly
, it is unarguable that most
parents
allow
children
to
use
phones
because of their intensive working
hours
so they can’t control the time of using
phones
. Most
children
are often unmonitored and not being guided to
use
gadgets properly,
however
, younger ones get addicted to using those devices very soon. To illustrate,
parents
give
phones
to
children
to be convenient in contact,
nevertheless
, many apps which include
games
or vast social platforms are so attractive that users cannot stop using
phones
.
As a result
, the younger generations often cannot stop using
smartphones
which leads to overuse of
phones
.
It is clearly seen that playing
games
or joining other types of entertainment on
phones
for a long period can affect
children
’s mental and physical health.
For instance
, joining outside activities is a way to improve physical growth,
nonetheless
, the temptation of entertaining apps on
phones
keeps
children
ignoring physical activities which ultimately limits the
children
's stalwart.
On the other hand
, spending
hours
playing
games
contributes to the
children
’s subsequent aggressive and unmonitored behaviours. It
also
leads to a lack of social skills as game players often isolate themselves and are unwilling to communicate.
Although
games
on
phones
that have violent themes have been forbidden in many countries, tens of thousands of
children
are vulnerable to other forms of violence that spread on the internet.
To conclude
, the main reason for the overuse of
phones
is attributed to the lack of guilds from adults so they get addicted easily. I totally agree that nowadays,
children
have been overusing
smartphones
which are impactful to their mental and physical health.
Parents
and experts need to pay attention and give guilds to youngsters before giving them a phone to
use
.
