Some of the juveniles are mostly occupied during their daily lives on gadgets, such as smartphones. In my view, there are some significant reasons for the occurrence of this behavior. In addition, I believe, it will cause some drawbacks to children’s development. Thus, this essay will discuss the rationales and impacts of spending too much time on handphones for the younger generation.
To begin with, most of children allocating most of hours on gadgets on a daily basis relies on several reasons. Most of the kids behaving this way is the consequence of parents’ ignorance. Some parents are mostly fully occupied with their own daily businesses, such as work. Therefore, some parents decide to give their children smartphones in order to prevent them from disturbing their work. Although employing this kind of treatment may seem simple and convenient to some parents, the lack of parent awareness of this activity will cause some feelings of addiction in their kids. Regarding this, the younger generation cannot be separated from their handphones and sometimes will show tantrums if they are being separated from their smart devices. This behavior can be illustrated as drug addiction, where drugs consumer will step on their manic steps if they cannot get the drug that they need.
Even though technology is beneficial for human life, exposing children to a digitalized world at such a young age will hold up their enhancement stages. Firstly, the exposure of smartphones will lead juveniles to have low socialization enhancement. it happens due to the lack of practice in kids’ conversation skill because they are not familiar with socialization and tend to spend most of their times on their gadgets. Furthermore, the development of children’s creative thinking will be held up as they do not receive adequate stimulation since smartphones have high technology features that will not require their users to think extensively. For instance, kids who are allowed to play various online games will not be able to build houses from Lego blocks because they do not have the creative mind to imagine a house from blocks.
In conclusion, children’s behavior to occupy most of their time on screen will mainly rely on parents’ awareness of technological usage for children. Parents need to be responsible enough to recognize the shortcomings behind their decisions in allowing kids to play with their gadgets. Additionally, parents are strongly suggested to give more stimulation to children through some activities, such as playing along with them or giving them educational toys.
