In the innovative era like nowadays, more and more youngsters spend their time mostly on cyberspace. There are many discussions about this problem in the press. In my point of view, I think this will be a pessimistic development, and I will analyze these issues.
The Internet is an ideal place for many teenagers to explore the world by themselves, it can boost their creativity, thus, can enhance their information about many fields. As teenagers are very energetic and curious about the whole world, they will try to explore the world as much as they can. On the other hand, they can use smartphones as a platform for connecting with their buddies, which makes them happier and less stressful after a busy day at school.
By contrast, this trend can lead to many negative effects on them. They will face many problems that they can not overcome . For example, addiction and distraction can prevent them from solving many daily problems in their life. Besides, their health may break down when they take a period of time for just relaxation and entertainment with their buddies, for instance, obesity is the most common health issue that many young children nowadays are dealt with. Besides, the interaction between the children and their family and loved-ones will be decreased, and the generation gap will become wider among the members in the family. From that, children may feel isolated and depressed in their own home and feel that they are not protected by anyone else.
In a nutshell, it is undeniable that children must have their own time for resting and looking for many resources on the Internet, but parents should be the one who understand them most, and sharing with them about the pros and cons of using the smartphones, educate children how to use this tool effectively to ensure that their child will be develop in the well-being way.
