Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case? Do you think is a positive or a negative development?

In recent years, there is no denying the fact that a vast number of

children

have been using their

smartphones

for a long

time

.

While

it is common to use

smartphones

, it is one of the life demands. Using

smartphones

is an essential topic to discuss and analyze.

Thus

, before presenting my perspective,

this

essay aims to discuss both sides of the argument, the positives and negatives of using

smartphones

. On one hand, there are many distinctive benefits of

children

's use of

smartphones

. One of them is that most of the

children

would gain many skills from using

smartphones

regarding the learning videos that they were watching on their

smartphones

.

In other words

, they can improve their learning skills through a variety of platforms that they can find on mobile phones.

Additionally

, parents could discover the abilities, interests, and talents of their

children

while

they were using

smartphones

.

For example

, my sister discovered that her son has good skills in photography and editing as well

while

he is using his mobile phone.

On the other hand

, there are many negatives of using

smartphones

.

Firstly

, using

smartphones

for a long

time

and for long periods may affect the mental health of

children

. It is possible to say watching video games may impact

children

's behaviour by making them aggressive.

Moreover

,

children

who use

smartphones

for long periods daily have unsocialized personalities.

For instance

, research from the University of Chicago has proved that 70% of

children

using

smartphones

have isolated personalities. In conclusion, there is no easy answer to

this

question. Using

smartphones

has brought many negatives to society; at the same

time

, it may produce many positives alike. On balance,

however

, I tend to believe that it all depends on how using

smartphones

and how the parents can manage to limit the

time

of using the mobiles.
