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?

Children

nowadays spend most of their day attached to their smartphones. The cause of

this

issue

is the development of the smartphone’s technology and its features. Adults

also

have parts on

this

issue

because they

also

invest most of their

time

on smartphones from doing the primary tasks to the hardest task of their day. As for my thoughts on

this

issue

, I think that spending most of a child’s

time

on a

phone

refers to a negative direction. I personally can’t say that adults don’t have any involvement in

this

issue

because I personally, as an early adult, spend most of my

time

on my

phone

.

This

simply has a reason because phones are helping people to do their

This

causes many negative things to the

For example

that they are addicted to. It will

also

have a big impact on their development especially when it comes to socializing, we all can see now that in-person socializing decreased because we can do most of our daily activities on our gadgets. The other negative thing is that if we're talking about their health, their eyes will get sick from spending too much

time

on the screen. In conclusion, being modernized by using smartphones on

isn’t necessarily wrong, but we, as an adult, have to supervise their screen

not a very good thing to do for their development, but giving them all the screen

that they want is just going to have a negative impact on them which is addictions and health problems.
