Some parents forbid young children from owning smart phones (cell phones with Internet access), while others disagree and believe that they are important tools for keeping in touch. Which point of view do you think is better, and why?
Some parents believe that the youth should own a
smartphone
as it is essential for them to communicate with others. Others believe that it is not necessary as children
usually lack self-control. I believe that learning how to use
mobile is one of the most essential skills nowadays and children
should have their own smartphones.
People who disagree with young children
owning a smartphone
have their points. It is true that children
usually lack self-control and therefore
if they own a smartphone
, they will probably spend a lot of time playing games or browsing the internet with it. This
problem can be solved by installing apps that prevent children
from using it without permission. Thus
, other than keeping in touch with others, children
will not allowed to use
them for another purpose. In this
case, young kids can own their mobiles without the worry of spending too much time with them.
Moreover
, in this
fast-paced world, learning how to properly use
a smartphone
is also
an essential skill nowadays. Children
can learn how to search for useful information to help their studies with their smartphones. For example
, students can take a picture of a flower and know details about it. When technology is used in a proper way , it helps students to study and learn better. As a result
, I believe that children
should own their own smartphones.
In conclusion, it is no doubt that most young children
lack self-control and if they own a cellphone they may spend a lot of time playing games with them. However
, I believe that by installing apps that prevent them from using them improperly , mobile phones can help them in their studies and proper use
of a mobile is one of the most important skills in the future. Therefore
children
should own a phone themselves.Submitted by sherwoodchan1218 on
