There is a growing view that children spend their day on smartphones more and more. In my opinion it is negative development since it can contribute negative effect on their health and study in schools.
The first disadvantage of this development is harmful effect on children’s health. Spending vast amount of time on smartphones can negatively affect children’s mental and physical health. Children’s minds may be mixed with various content or games in apps of devices. They will not able to define the virtually with reality due to mass usage of phones and may have some problems with health such as low vision and others. For example, many parents have been claiming that phones have been reducing children’s eye vision since they became depended of using smartphones. The reason of this is completely revealed by various researches and scientists suggest that by looking at bright screen of devices during the long period, children’s vision will decrease as time goes by.
The negative effect on children’s educational process can be another issue. Scholars will not able to allocate sufficient focus on study because lack of time which attributed to spend vast number of hours on phone. Significant proportion of their mind will be full of games or content due to full-scale usage which is make it impossible to concentrate only on study. They cannot allocate time to complete homework or even will be required to take naps during the lessons because they were been playing games in last night.
In my opinion, it is completely negative change because children may have problems relating to their mental and at the same time physical health and it can play integral role opposed to children’s educational progress.
