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?

In recent years,

smartphones

have become extremely advanced where several tasks can be performed.

Along with

this

progress, there comes a drawback of addiction to it, which is primarily affecting

children

day by day. From my perspective, addiction to mobile phones

instead

of reading will ruin their future career.

Smartphones

cover a wide range of activities including entertainment, study, communication, and so on.

As a result

of

this

versatile characteristic, youngsters have been attracted to it even more in recent times.

Besides

all these activities,

children

can make more friends through the Internet and can communicate with their friends.

For instance

, a child in my

neighborhood

Change the spelling

neighbourhood

show examples

spends time on Facebook chatting with his friends.

Furthermore

, youngsters involve themselves in mobile games in

such

a manner that they forget about timing and other work to do.

However

, I see more benefits than drawbacks of

smartphones

. A child can gain a lot of knowledge and skills by using mobile through the internet which is denoted as an ocean of education.

Consequently

,

this

will boost the IQ level of kids, they can get help in completing their tasks too.

For instance

,

children

of the Corona batch got education through

smartphones

.

Moreover

, numerous learning materials can be found on video-sharing platforms like YouTube.

To conclude

, multiple task performance of mobile phones helps

children

in different sectors

whereas

the use of it should be limited. I think

children

should be under their parents’ supervision

while

using phones, so they will not get distracted from learning.
