 spend hours with smartphones, not only
children
. As far as I’m concerned , parents give smartphones to their
children
 because both of them are working people who have a main focus on work achievement.
For
this
 reason, they rarely have time to take care of their
children
 themselves, so they choose to keep the
children
 with their phones or iPads by themselves. Sometimes when we see
children
 always using smart gadgets, maybe they feel lonely so that they have to live in an internet world and don’t have people who can force or teach them about what they watch on online streaming.
For example
, some minors watched some harmful scenes in combat movies.
This
 addiction is a worthy habit that affects the child and those around him. On the other side, guardians allow
children
 to use communication technology in an appropriate manner and there is supervision and advice to take
children
 to various activities so it makes
children
 not feel lonely. Having a smartphone could enhance kids' academic scores because they can search a videos about difficult lessons in some subject that can be easy for them to understand or find out something that he is interested in and have new ideas that have a great effect on them.
To sum up
, nowadays every technology is very significant in life
thus
, minors spend hours with it. It has several factors both positive and negative depending on the parents and the
children
 to see how they will use it.
