some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. why is this the case? do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Today, by developing technology, human life has been influenced by

smartphones

, especially for

children

.

This

trend

has a crucial rule on

children

's lifestyles and provides an insight into their personal background as they grow,

however

, my personal approach toward

this

is that using

smartphones

depends on the permission that parents give to

children

, regarding it's circumstances

such

as the impact that it takes on the

children

's mental health or studying. One point which I personally believe is the fact that

smartphones

can impact the mental health of a

child

. The way of behaving that a

child

instructs from the internet can harm, not only the

child

but

also

society.

For example

, In many social media like Instagram and Facebook, every user has a different behaviour that imprints in a

child

's mind that he or uses in society,though, there are many positive impacts that we can gain from these social media,

for example

, many accounts in Instagram are trying 24 hours to motivate to success .

Nevertheless

,

this

trend

depends on parents and how they try to control applications

smartphones

by

children

, since, they should study and do their homework for school,

in addition

, phones will influence

children

's concentration when they are in school and sometimes it will lead to the addicted

child

to phone. Another positive view, that might be argued which is pivotal is that, they access any sites related to plus 18 subjects and some of the parents do not care about it. In many societies especially Iran, fortunately,

this

trend

is banned by the government which can harm

children

.

For example

,in poor families that have financial consistency to prepare toys, boys and girls are attracted by these sites,

although

, they can use many appropriate sites to learn like education and how to cook and any skills. In conclusion, It is right that

smartphones

have a negative

trend

which impacts on

child

's behaviour, but, it can be beneficial by learning new skills like learning a new language.
