Some individuals believe that children should not use smartphones because it is detrimental to, however others think that devices can be very useful. I believe that smartphones have a place to be used in education and communication.
However, smartphones can be really harmful and play negative role in children’s lives. First of all it is addiction. Many children spend too much time on their phones, which affects productivity. This can reduce their productivity because they do not focus on their studies. Second point is social isolation. Nowadays youngsters prefer virtual interactions over face-to-face communication, they do not spend much time with their family and friends, it can lead to loneliness.
On the other hand, there are some advantages. Smartphones can be useful in many cases such as easy communication and education. These days almost everyone prefer to communicate virtually in social media and children can have friends around the world and improve their communication skills. Smartphones are useful in this case, because sometimes your friends can leave very far from you and you may not have opportunity to meet up, Instant messaging and video calls keep people connected anywhere in the world. Second benefit it is education. Children can use devices in right way, with the help of smartphones they can find useful information from different sources, because sometimes books do not have what you are looking for. In addition, children can download helpful apps for studying.
In conclusion, there are some disadvantages, however advantages points are stronger. In my opinion children can use smartphones for useful and harmless purposes such as communication with people around the world and education.
